ISLAMABAD: The All Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association has announced to keep petrol pumps across the country closed on March 4.

They said that an important meeting will be held with Federal Minister Musadik Malik regarding the deregulation policy, expressing reservations over the lack of consultation. If their reservations are not addressed, petrol pumps will remain closed indefinitely from March 4.

Central Executive Committee leader Raza Abbas said that he is ready to support Musadik Malik for the success of the deregulation policy but stressed the need for consultation. He stressed that deregulation should be extended beyond fuel prices to the entire oil sector.

He also clarified that he has no connection with Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association Chairman Abdul Sami Khan, adding that his association is registered with the Ministry of Commerce, while claiming that the registration of the Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association has been cancelled.
