Author: Petrol Shortages in the province of Punjab ONLY.
The nation needs answers to the following questions.
1. Minister for petroleum says the shortage is due to the 25% increased use which was the result of steep price reductions. Please note that Karachi alone consumes 50% of the total country’s petroleum consumption. As such, how come this shortage is NOT in Karachi and all the other 3 provinces? Why only scarcity of petrol in Punjab?
2. Country’s domestic petroleum production increased from 60,000BPD to 1,00,000 BPD. Why this production is NOT available for Punjab?
3. If PSO is bankrupt and its MD was inefficient then how come three provinces are getting normal petrol supplies and Punjab is singled out?
4. If ministry of finance didn’t release the funds timely for purchase of fuel, why again its consequences are NOT falling upon on three provinces and Punjab is facing the brunt of fuel shortages.
5. Why ALL marketing companies failed to maintain mandatory reserve stocks of 20 days and why no action taken against OGRA over dereliction of duties on this account?
