Govt rejects OGRA proposed CNG price hike

ISLAMABAD: Advisor to the Prime Minister for Petroleum, Dr Asim Hussain Thursday set aside the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority's (OGRA) proposal for hiking the price of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).

Talking to Geo News, Dr Asim Hussain termed the proposal seeking an increase in CNG price as unjustified and is, therefore, unacceptable.
