The Petroleum and CNG Dealers Association on Wednesday demanded of the federal government to refrain from hiking fuel prices in the country in coming days. Addressing a presser at the press club, the office-bearers of the association said that they were unable to get proper fuel supply in the past few days, causing a shortage of petroleum products at the filling stations. “People are blaming us over fuel shortage, however, it is the dealers that are not providing fuel to us on regular basis,” they said and demanded of the authorities to ensure smooth supply of the fuel products at the oil pumps country-wide. They further blamed that the smuggled fuel products are available across the country openly and demanded to take action against it. It is pertinent to mention here that Federal Minister for Petroleum Omar Ayub on June 12 blamed hoarders for creating an artificial fuel shortage in the country and warned that they would face cases and imprisonment if supply is not restored. “The issue of fuel shortage in the country will be resolved within 72 to 48 hours,” he said while talking during a TV programme, and added that lowering of fuel prices have hurt the oil mafia badly.
