“We have already installed a dispenser on a petrol pump near The Mall of Amritsar which will begin supplying CNG in about a months time,” said sources.The company had also laid pipes for supplying Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to households, small businessmen and industry etc. which is likely to replace the Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders.Sangha said that CNG was not only economical, but was one of the preferred alternative fuel sources for vehicles.The administration had earlier taken several measures to bring down the air pollution level from the city but to no avail.Diesel-driven auto-rickshaws contribute maximum to the air pollution especially in the vicinity of the Golden Temple.Company source say that with the supply of CNG, the CNG kit manufacturers were all set to establish their renters for installation of CNG kits in petrol drive vehicles.“CNG is more than 55% cheaper than petrol and around 40% cheaper than diesel in running cost per kilometre,” he said.
