Till the government does not increase the dealers&#8217; margin to 6%, we will not negotiate with them,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that the government had provided assurances of fulfilling dealers&#8217; demands but so far, had not spoken to them.<\/p>\n<p>Karachi<br \/>\nIn Karachi, commuters rushed to the petrol pumps to get their fuel tanks filled in long queues, which disrupted the traffic movement on major arteries of Karachi.  <\/p>\n<p>Citizens were worried Thursday morning over not finding petrol at petrol stations across the city. &#8220;We searched far and wide for petrol, from Clifton to Liaquatabad, but could not get any,&#8221; said one commuter, speaking to Geo News. <\/p>\n<p>Another citizen said he had arrived at Liaquatabad from Sohrab Goth to find petrol. However, he had to return empty-handed. &#8220;The non-availability of petrol has increased our problems,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Watch Geo News LiveStream: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HrrpR7zjFpU<\/p>\n<p>For More Videos Subscribe &#8211; https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/geonews<br \/>\nVisit our Website for More Latest Update &#8211; https:\/\/www.geo.tv\/<\/p>\n<p>#GeoNews<br \/>\n#BreakingNews<br \/>\n#PakistanNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Petrol pumps closed in different cities including Karachi, people worried Long queues, brawls and traffic jams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":349473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[112834,270835,134098,294418,294414,243559,245527,294417,294415,294416,294421,294419,294420,217886,40818,267802],"class_list":{"0":"post-349472","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japanese-anime","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-geo-news","10":"tag-latest-news","11":"tag-latest-news-update","12":"tag-latest-top-stories","13":"tag-news-update","14":"tag-pakistan-news","15":"tag-pakistan-news-update","16":"tag-pakistan-top-news","17":"tag-pakistan-top-stories","18":"tag-panic-grips-pakistan","19":"tag-petrol-pumps-closed","20":"tag-petrol-pumps-remain-closed","21":"tag-politics","22":"tag-re-main","23":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
