Petroleum dealers issue 72-hour ultimatum over govt's failure to fulfil promises
https://www.dawn.com/news/2022267
Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association (PPDA) has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the government, warning of a nationwide shutdown of petrol pumps if their demands are not met by 6am on Saturday, August 15. The association's Chairman, Malik Khuda Bakhsh, made the announcement during a press conference alongside senior office-bearers.
The PPDA has demanded an 8% margin on the retail sale price of petrol, claiming that the existing commission is insufficient to cover rising inflation, electricity and gas expenses, employees' salaries, and other operational costs. The association criticized the "Company Allocation Policy" as discriminatory and against the business interests of dealers, demanding its immediate review and transparency.
