Lahore: IG Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar has issued a crackdown order against illegal petrol storage pumps, depots, and agencies.
In his statement, the IG said that indiscriminate action should be taken against owners who create artificial scarcity of petrol by illegal stockpiling, RPOs and DPOs should take action under personal supervision against illegal stockpiling depots and agencies. Make sure.
On the other hand, citizens in different areas of Punjab are still facing difficulties in getting petrol and diesel as the pump owners in different areas have restricted the supply in view of the increase in prices.
According to the sources, due to the shortage of petrol in Sargodha, Bahawalnagar, Kamalia, Narrwal, Shakargarh, Lahore and other major cities of Punjab, owners are giving petrol worth of Rs 400 to motorcyclists and only Rs 1,000 to car drivers. Despite the government notice and OGRA Chairman’s instructions, the situation could not improve.
