Petrol Pumps Face Licence Cancellation Over Fuel Subsidy

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ordered the cancellation of licences for petrol pumps that refuse to provide subsidised fuel to registered beneficiaries under the Prime Minister's Fuel Relief Programme. The directive comes amid warnings of strict action against outlets denying eligible citizens access to the relief.

A high-level meeting chaired by PM Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad reviewed the progress of the fuel subsidy programme and its implementation across the country. The meeting was held in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and focused on ensuring compliance with government instructions.

Shehbaz Sharif directed relevant authorities to ensure that registered beneficiaries face no obstacles in obtaining subsidised fuel. Petrol pumps are required to comply with government orders to avoid licence cancellation.
