KARACHI (92 News) – Citizens faced an acute shortage of petrol through the city due to strike of the Oil Tankers Owners Association against sales tax on Tuesday.

People moved from pillar to post to get petrol.

Petrol pump owners had stopped the sale by erecting tents at the entry points.

At some places, petrol was sold at Rs 200 per liter on the black market.

After their successful talks, oil tankers owners restored the supply and as a result, petrol pumps were opened.
