In this context, while deciding to set a specific monthly quota of petrol for citizens’ personal vehicles, the federal government has decided to implement a digital fuel management system at petrol pumps.
Under this decision, no citizen will be allowed to take petrol more than the fixed quota.
Preparations have been completed for the provision of mobile phones at the pumps to implement the petrol quota system as per the details.
While the National IT Board and the IT Ministry have completed the testing of mobile phones and applications.
According to the details, due to the current situation in Iran, the United States (US) and Israel, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Pakistan is also facing an energy crisis like the rest of the world.
The government is taking several steps to deal with it in the form of the austerity measures.
