Islamabad | Re News Pakistan
The Senate Standing Committee on Petroleum has questioned the marginal reduction in petrol prices despite ample fuel reserves and the arrival of fresh petroleum consignments, while expressing concern over the mechanism for determining fuel prices, employee dismissals and delays in gas projects.
According to details, the committee raised questions during its meeting about why petrol prices were being reduced by only a few paisas despite sufficient fuel stocks in the country and the arrival of fresh petroleum consignments. The committee also expressed concern over the mechanism used to determine petroleum prices.
The meeting also discussed the dismissal of employees and delays in various gas projects. The committee voiced reservations over these issues and reviewed the matters brought before it.
The Senate Standing Committee on Petroleum also took up the ownership structure of Jamshoro Joint Venture Limited (JJVL). However, detailed deliberations on the matter were deferred until the next meeting. This marks the second time the committee has postponed consideration of the issue.
Previously, the committee had raised questions over the continued supply of domestic gas to Jamshoro Joint Venture Limited despite gas shortages at state-owned power plants.
Senator Saifullah Abro had alleged discriminatory treatment in the matter, claiming that power plants were shut down to facilitate the revival of JJVL.
The committee is expected to revisit issues relating to petroleum price reductions, gas supply arrangements and the ownership structure of Jamshoro Joint Venture Limited at its next meeting.
