In Peshawar, a ban has been imposed on opening CNG stations under Section 144 due to decrease in Sui gas pressure, as the stations will remain closed till January 19.
According to a notification issued by the Peshawar Deputy Commissioner, domestic consumers are facing difficulties due to falling gas pressure.
To ensure sufficient gas supply for households, CNG stations in the city have been banned.
Under Section 144, the opening of CNG stations will be prohibited and any violation will result in legal action.
Due to the closure of CNG stations, autorickshaw drivers have started using gas cylinders, leading to an increase in fares.
Additionally, the number of CNG-powered vehicles on the roads has decreased due to the closures.
