Ogra again increased the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Rs 1.75 in the country and is forcing stations to sell gas on higher rates of Rs 57.03 against Rs 55.30.
Ogra has fixed the selling price of CNG for the Potohar Region, Khyber-Pakhtukhawa and Balochistan at Rs 57.03 against Rs 55.30 and for Sindh and the central Punjab Rs 55.30 against Rs 53.03.
Ogra on Sunday issued a notification on revised retail prices of compressed natural gas (CNG) in the country. On the other hand, the All Pakistan CNG Association has rejected the revised retail price of gas and decided to beseige the Ogra headquarters in protest on August 4.
The official spokesman of Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra), Asad Latif, told The News that the concerned authority had issued a notification of the new revised retail price of CNG across the country. All stations would follow the rates of gas according to the notification, he said. He said that overall, Ogra had increased the rates by Rs 1.75 per kilogram throughout the country.
