  • Salam.
    I have an suggestion regarding CNG Cylinders in Public transport and this can be used in other drives too.
    A Mobile application should be launched by the Govt. which can be used by the general public, in which people can launched complaint against the public vehicle, secretly. For instance, a passenger sit in the vehicle and see the cylinder, he opens the app and put detail of vehicle and there we go… The more complaints against a vehicle, the more chance of action against it.

    • So he should allow to continue children and other passengers getting burned alive in exploded CNG vehicles?

  • Ye tamam cylenders laboratory pass b karwa skte hn ap ye implement krwa lo na k logo ka nuksan

    • Would a laboratory pass cylinder not burst like a bomb during a collusion? Aap is ki gaurantee day do. Kiyon logon ki jaan kay dushman banay ho apnay 2 ruppay kay faiday kay liyain?

  • Aslam o alaikam
    Yeh bohat hi zalmana qadam hai…Pehlay careem aur uber nay public transport ki tabahi ki….aub bachi kasar hakoomat nay nikaal di….cng ko khtam karna hai to private aur public service dono main khatam kiya jaiy….iska matlab yeh hai kay cylender sirf public garri main hi phttay hain….private main nahin phat saktay.
