ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered action against the companies and people responsible for the petroleum crisis. During a meeting on Thursday, he said that the people responsible for the crisis should be arrested and their licences be cancelled. He said that the stored petrol should be supplied to the market forcibly. The prime minister also ordered to make bound all companies to store oil for 21 days. On the other hand, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has presented its inquiry report to Prime Minister Imran Khan and held the Petroleum Division responsible for the crisis. The report says DG Oil Dr Shafi Afridi and Petroleum Division had failed to fulfill its responsibility. The oil marketing companies deliberately created the petrol crisis.
