OKARA, May 16: People across the district have been facing acute shortage of petrol and kerosene oil for the last five days.

Filling station owners say they are not getting petrol supplies from oil marketing companies.

Kerosene oil retailers say the shortage is due to kerosene adulteration in diesel. According to them, kerosene is Rs 6 a litre cheaper than diesel.
