Sindh government considers limiting petrol supply to vehicles amid fuel shortage concerns

KARACHI: The Sindh government is set to discuss proposals to limit petrol supply to vehicles in response to growing concerns over fuel shortages in the province. According to official sources, the Sindh cabinet will convene on Tuesday to deliberate on a range of measures aimed at addressing the issue.

Among the proposals under consideration is the restriction of unnecessary movement of vehicles, which authorities believe could help conserve fuel and manage the current supply situation. The provincial government is also expected to review and potentially revise its fuel policy for government vehicles as part of broader efforts to ensure efficient fuel usage.

Officials have indicated that these discussions are part of a proactive approach to mitigate the impact of any potential fuel shortages in Sindh. The cabinet meeting will focus on both immediate and long-term strategies, including the possibility of imposing limits on petrol distribution to private and public vehicles.

While the government has not yet announced any final decisions, the upcoming meeting underscores the seriousness with which provincial authorities are addressing the matter. The proposals reflect concerns about maintaining essential services and minimizing disruptions that could arise from fuel supply constraints.

The outcome of the cabinet meeting is expected to shape the province’s approach to fuel management in the coming weeks. Further details will be shared following the conclusion of the discussions.
