Buses import from India flayed

Published July 22, 2008

KARACHI, July 21: The Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers has flayed the decision of allowing import of 10-year old CNG buses from India in the trade policy.

Association chairman M. A. Malik said in a statement on Monday that the country would become a junkyard of used machinery because after five years the buses used for public transport would lose their efficiency and after 10 years they would outlive their utility.

Mr Malik urged the government to take back the decision.
