The Labor Department in Islamabad is conducting regular inspections of petrol pumps in the city. During a recent check, they discovered problems at eight petrol pumps where customers were receiving less fuel than they had paid for. In response, the authorities took action by sealing the nozzles of these pumps.
This action is in accordance with the Weights & Measures Act of 1976 and its associated rules. The purpose of these checks is to ensure that customers are receiving the correct and fair amount of fuel when they fill up at petrol stations. By enforcing these regulations, the authorities aim to protect consumers from potential unfair practices and maintain transparency in fuel transactions.
