A very shameful and condemnable incident.

These transporters install these kits from small shops with no proper certification or anything, sub standard maintenance and over cramped vans.

When the government tries to squeeze them into following procedures, they call a strike and the mafia wakes up and makes it self heard.

CNG is quite safe. This is most probably a case of poor/lack of proper maintenance.

 

[Die Hard]

All such incidents are being taken place just due to the apathy of our rulers. A simple solution to impeded such unfortunate incidents is to ban the installation of CNG cylinders in buses, vans and even in cars as well. But the apparent issue, due to which our concerned government departments have been dredging their feet from doing so, was that they are getting hefty bribes from CNG owners to remain silent over the issue.Ignorance of safety and ignorance in general - That is Pakistan defined.
