Eighth day of Punjab petrol crisis: 1.8 mn liters to be disbursed by tonight

LAHORE: The All Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association said on Tuesday that 5.7 mn liters of petrol has been disbursed to fuel stations across Punjab during the last three days and another 1.8 mn liters will be dispersed by tonight.

According to sources, the situation for commuters in all cities including Lahore in the province has not become any better as the fuel crisis entered its eighth day today.

However, according to the Petroleum Dealers Association, the state of affairs is improving and the chaos at stations was only due to mismanagement of the pumps and had nothing to do with the supply.

The association further said that all fuel stations have been directed to meet the demands of the commuters with the provided supply of petrol, as well as all stations should stop providing petrol to customers with bottles and canisters in order to avoid queues.
