Stop CNG for private vehicles
Further to Alam's views published in your pages on 14th. February; in my opinion, CNG should not be supplied to any vehicle apart from public and cargo transport (bus & trucks) vehicles. Cars are owned by well-to-do people, and they should use only petrol or octane. The same logic is applicable for taxi-cabs, which are used by the better-off people also. Compressed Natural Gas should not be supplied to any private motor vehicle. Logically, natural gas price should be raised step by step, so that the price on unit BTU basis is at par with coal.
Talking about coal; the mining and commercial sale of coal in open market should be our topmost national priority. The hue and cry, raised by the environmental lobby and all other groups, should be ignored in our overall national priority for energy independence! We must use coal for the generation of power and energy provided to all prime-movers and other equipment in use.
