LAHORE: The relentless petrol shortage throughout the province of Punjab entered its fifth day on Saturday as Federal Minister for Petroleum Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that it would take around five to eight days for the situation to normalise.
It is also expected that the price of Petroleum products will decrease by about Rs.5 per litre from February.
It seems that after the prevailing CNG crisis in the country, citizens are being faced with either similar long queues for petrol or being turned back empty handed.
The situation in Islamabad and Rawalpindi has taken its toll with most pumps closed and the few scarce ones open are busy with extremely long queues and chaos.
Lahore is no different where commuters are running from pillar to post, desperate to find fuel for their vehicles, as about 95 percent of fuel stations in the city are shut.
