LAHORE, March 14: The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association has demanded 100 per cent increase in commission, enhancement of CNG rates and permission for conversion of existing petrol pumps into LPG stations.

Voicing the demands at a press conference here on Friday, association chairman Abdul Sami Khan said the Musharraf regime had allowed four per cent commission on sale of POL products in 2001 on the condition that the dealers would withdraw 0.5 per cent service charges levied by them to cover short-measurement by oil companies and pumps.
