LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Tuesday sought a report from Ogra about the action taken against manufacturers of substandard CNG cylinders. Earlier, the court had sought reports from federal and Punjab governments on the matter.

A deputy attorney general told the court on Tuesday Ogra was taking action in this regard. At this, Justice Umar Ata Bandial directed Ogra to file its report by Feb 28.

Advocate Rana Mehtab filed the petition pleading that some companies were playing with the lives of people by manufacturing substandard CNG cylinders which were being installed in vehicles particularly in public transport. He pointed out that 45 people had lost their lives in accidents caused by CNG cylinder blasts during the recent past.  — Staff Reporter
