No CNG loadshedding

Published October 23, 2012

A welcome news for everyone: the government has decided not to have CNG loadshedding during the Eid holidays.

After the decision by the ministry of petroleum, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) will be available to consumers in Potohar, including Islamabad on Friday and Saturday, which are the loadshedding days in the region.

The transporters and consumers have expressed a sigh of relief, as a massive movement of small loading vehicles and private cars is expected on Friday, a day prior to Eid.
