QUETTA - People mostly in Quetta are suffering a lot after a temporary shortage of petrol and closure of CNG stations that have kept their vehicles off the roads, causing enormous problems for the commuters.
As per details, it has been the third consecutive day on Thursday that most of petrol pumps in Quetta remained closed while as far as CNG stations are concerned they are already on a strike.
The shortage of petrol and closure of CNG stations have hit the citizens, particularly school-going children, students and government employees who are facing difficulties and hardships in reaching schools, colleges, universities and office on time.
Muhammad Ibrahim, resident of Satellite town in Quetta, states that previously they were complaining of closures of CNG stations but now even all pumps are without petrol.
President of Balochistan Petroleum Association (BPA) Dad Muhammad Ishaq said that owing to the strike of Oil Tankers Association (OTA) in Karachi, the supply of petrol pumps were suspended in Quetta and, therefore, people were facing shortage of fuel.
People demanded that the government should take action against closure of CNG stations and end strike of tankers so that availability of fuel could be ensured throughout the province, including Quetta.
