KARACHI: The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) station owners have decided to indefinitely close down filling stations in Karachi and other cities across the country causing hardships to citizens, DawnNews reported on Monday.

CNG consumers were turned away from filling stations earlier in November as well despite warnings of legal action issued by the Prime Minister’s Advisor for Petroleum and Natural Resources, Dr Asim Hussain, against stations defying the Supreme Court's directives.

Consumers have been facing inconvenience on one pretext or the other, given by the CNG station owners, ever since the Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the per kilo price of CNG to be reduced on Oct 25.
