The Pakistani government and the Oil Tankers Contractors Association (OTCA) have agreed to establish a joint committee to resolve ongoing operational disputes within two weeks.
Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik stated that ensuring uninterrupted fuel supplies remains the federal government's top priority, signaling a direct intervention to address logistical bottlenecks affecting the public.
The move comes as domestic fuel distribution faces pressure from unresolved issues between state authorities and private tanker operators.
By setting a strict two-week deadline for the committee to address these grievances, Islamabad aims to prevent further supply chain disruptions that could exacerbate inflationary pressures and public discontent.
This development occurs against a backdrop of broader regional instability.
While the United States and Iran have reportedly agreed on a roadmap to conclude their conflict within 60 days, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, local logistical challenges persist.
