The Oil Tankers Owners Association has announced a suspension of petrol and diesel supply starting Tuesday, potentially causing disruptions in fuel availability across significant regions. This move is in response to what the association claims is a reduction in the allocated oil quota by Antamiya.
Areas such as Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan are expected to be affected, posing challenges for consumers in accessing petroleum products. Furthermore, the association has declared a cessation of supply to all national airports.
The association has stated that the supply halt will continue until their demands are met. Despite attempts to communicate with Pakistan State Oil (PSO) officials and the Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad, no response has been received.
At the heart of their grievances is the issue of meeting demand under a metered system, which the association insists must be promptly addressed. They argue that the district administration and officials have violated terms laid out in the agreement reached on February 20.
