City Reporter The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations across the province would remain open for 24-hours on Thursday (today). According to the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC), it was decided to open the gas stations across the province for 24-hours during the ongoing week. As per schedule, the stations would remain open from 8:00 am on Thursday to 8:00 am on Friday. It is pertinent to mention here that a 12-hour schedule was followed by the SSGC authorities during the past weeks in the province owing to a shortage in gas supply due to ongoing winter season. On 11 January 2020, the All Pakistan Compressed Natural Gas Association (APCNGA) and All Karachi Transport Ittehad (AKTI) announced to hold a protest at the office of Sui Southern Gas Company over continuous closure of CNG stations in the city. The APCNGA also said that the government was not fulfilling its promises and it has become a routine for them as after agreeing to open the stations a day before, they announce their closure hours before.
