The petrol is being sold as high as Rs 125 per litre in various cities as the acute shortage of fuel is being observed after the halt in supply from the Attock Oil Refinery due to some technical faults.
Long queues of vehicles were seen on CNG stations following the resumption of gas supply after the weekly suspension of two days.
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani ordered the Pakistan State Oil to import 50,000 tonnes extra fuel to overcome the shortage.
The Petroleum Ministry claimed that the scarcity would be diminished in two days.
Meanwhile, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority issued notice to the Attock Oil Refinery, asking them to restore their routine supplies.
