“I have demanded introduction of CNG for buses, trucks, jeeps and cars in the plains of the state,” said Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal Wednesday.

Dhumal met Petroleum Minister Murli Deora in New Delhi late Tuesday.

“Running buses on the pattern of New Delhi in Himachal Pradesh’s districts of Solan, Bilaspur, Kangra, Hamirpur and Una will not only be cheap but also clean,” said Dhumal.

He said Deora has assured him that his ministry would consider the request.
