Varanasi: Nearly a dozen CNG stations in Varanasi district remained closed on Friday due to a symbolic strike, causing inconvenience to commuters and CNG vehicle owners. Long queues were seen outside the few stations that continued to operate in the city.The issue was resolved following a meeting between CNG companies, oil companies and the dealers’ association. It was decided that all CNG stations would reopen and timely payments would be ensured.The disruption was attributed to a lack of coordination among CNG companies, oil companies and the dealers’ association. Vinod Singh, president of the Petroleum Dealers Association, said the problem arose due to poor coordination between oil companies and firms supplying CNG.He said pending electricity bills for several months and delays in payments had directly affected the supply. This led to the symbolic strike and the closure of around a dozen CNG stations in the district.With several CNG stations in the city shut, vehicle owners were forced to rely on the few outlets that remained operational, resulting in long queues.
