The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and the Petroleum Division have issued a joint statement following the strike announced by the Petroleum Dealers Association, stating that petroleum products will be available nationwide.
The statement directed oil marketing companies to keep pumps open and ensure continuous supply.
According to the joint statement, the country has abundant petroleum products, and they will remain available throughout the nation.
Earlier, the Petroleum Dealers Association had declared a nationwide strike starting on July 5.
Abdul Sami Khan, Chairman of the Petroleum Dealers Association, announced the strike, emphasising that businesses cannot sustain operations with such high taxes. He warned that pumps across the country will begin to run dry tonight and stated that negotiations will not resume until the government accepts their demands.
