ISLAMABAD – A worsening fuel shortage has created a serious crisis in parts of Balochistan. The situation has caused sharp disruptions in daily life and transport services.
In several districts, the Petrol Price has reportedly surged as high as Rs500 per litre. The increase reflects severe supply shortages across the region.
Cities like Quetta are experiencing long queues at fuel stations. Many people are waiting for hours to get limited supplies.
Several petrol pumps have already shut down due to empty stock. Those still open are struggling to meet rising demand.
Residents say the situation has made daily travel extremely difficult. Many people are unable to reach work on time.
The Petrol Price situation has also affected small businesses and transport operators. Rising fuel costs have increased overall pressure on household budgets.
Districts including Nushki, Kharan, and Loralai are facing the worst impact. Limited supply has led to sudden price spikes in these areas.
In Quetta, traffic congestion is now common around operational fuel stations. Long lines of vehicles are seen across major roads.
Authorities say the crisis is linked to disruption in fuel supply chains. The suspension of Iranian fuel imports has further worsened the situation.
Officials noted that a large portion of local demand was previously met through cross-border supply. Its disruption has created immediate shortages in the market.
Efforts are now underway to stabilize the situation. Petroleum dealers are working to restore supply through alternative routes.
According to officials, 600,000 litres of petrol were recently delivered to Quetta. This move is aimed at reducing pressure on fuel stations.
Despite these efforts, the Petrol Price and shortage issues remain a concern for residents. Many are still struggling to find fuel at reasonable rates.
Authorities hope the additional supply will help normalize the situation in the coming days. However, uncertainty continues in affected districts.
