Strike of CNG owners

The owners' association of the CNG supply stations recently threatened the government with an indefinite strike from November 2010, if their demands were not met before the stated time. Presently we are not getting gas regularly in our area, and if we get it for sometime, its pressure is very low. The electricity supply is also inadequate and the water supply is erratic mostly because of irregular supply of electricity as electricity is also generated from gas. With this backdrop, the shutting of the CNG stations for 6 hours daily is quite logical and proven to be realistic.
For the benefit of a few rich people, the poor and general mass cannot be held hostage in their hands. We would, humbly, request the government not to bow to the demands of a section of people, ignoring the sufferings of the general mass.
