ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th Apr, 2026) Residents gathered at petrol stations across the Federal capital following reports of a possible shortage, but the district administration confirmed that fuel stock is available at all pumps.

The administration stressed that supply chains remain active and there is no issue affecting availability.

The administration also asked citizens to report any case where a fuel station provides less petrol than requested.

In such cases, residents have been directed to immediately contact the district administration so that action can be taken. Monitoring teams are in place to check compliance at petrol stations.

To ensure direct communication, the administration has set up a control room that operates around the clock. Citizens can call 051-9108084 to report complaints, seek information, or share concerns related to petrol supply or service at fuel stations.

The administration reaffirmed that fuel availability is stable and that all petrol pumps are functioning as usual. Residents have been advised to carry out their routine activities without concern and to contact authorities in case of any issue.
