The transport minister directed traffic police officials to release the public buses after removing the cylinders from them. Talking to the media, Shah termed the use of substandard CNG cylinders in vehicles as the cause of several horrific accidents, adding that this would not be tolerated. He claimed the Sindh government had published an advertisement in newspapers, warning vehicle owners to remove substandard CNG cylinders, before beginning its crackdown. "This is the only province with laws governing the use of CNG cylinders, under which we will file cases against offenders after seizing their cylinders," he continued. "The current operation is a temporary solution, but we will soon provide better public buses for the city."
