Petrol supply betters on day-9 into crisis
Shireen Mazari has demanded resignation of the PM and ministers for inefficiency
LAHORE (Dunya News) – The petrol supply on Wednesday in Punjab improved following the severe petrol shortage in the last at least eight days. However, petrol pumps still have long queues of the customers but they do not have to wait for very long.
The petrol supply in the province improved on the ninth day of the petrol crisis. Earlier, the petroleum dealers’ association had claimed that the petrol supply would be increased within as many as three days. Minister for Petroleum Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had said that the petrol shortage would be contained within a week.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Shireen Mazari demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister (PM) and the ministers holding them responsible for the petrol crisis in the country.
Earlier, the committee formed to probe the matter in its report gave a clean chit to the government while held the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) responsible for the petrol shortage. The report further stated that OGRA was supposed to keep a check on the 20-day petrol stock by the marketing companies which it did not.
