Amid the ongoing economic crisis, fuel shortage link hits the country’s most populous region Punjab as many petrol stations in different areas, especially in the provincial capital Lahore, run dry in wake of 'limited supply'.
Hundreds from different cities complained that no fuel link available in fuel stations while long queues were spotted at petrol pumps which are offering only limited fuel.
The situation remained worst in densely populated cities like Lahore, Gujranwala and Faisalabad where petrol pumps have either no or a limited supply link of petrol for a couple of days purportedly due to limited supply from the oil marketing companies.
Around 60-70 per cent of fuel stations in Gujranwala had no petrol, and the masses faced similar difficulties in Okara, Sahiwal and other cities in Punjab.
As people faced difficulty in buying the commodity, several trends appeared on the microblogging platform Twitter, where the usersvented out their anger over the fuel crisis. Some people also pointed out that panic buying was witnessed at some petrol stations.
