Chief Minister Gilgit-Baltistan Haji Gulbar Khan has said that an OGRA office should be set up in Gilgit-Baltistan on the lines of other provinces so that the people of Gilgit-Baltistan can get the quality and right quantity of petroleum products and LPG. Due to the absence of an OGRA office in Gilgit-Baltistan, complaints are being received about the quality and quantity of petroleum products as well as the reduction in the quota set for Gilgit-Baltistan. In addition, consumers in Gilgit-Baltistan also have reservations regarding the quality and price of LPG. The office of OGRA will be established to solve all the problems faced by the people of Gilgit-Baltistan for which the federal government will be contacted.
These views were expressed by Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan Haji Gulbar Khan while speaking on the occasion of the high-level meeting. The Chief Minister said on the occasion that the provincial government would provide all possible support for the establishment of the OGRA office. Keeping in view the difficulties faced in traffic flow due to traffic accidents and breakdown of heavy vehicles in Gilgit-Baltistan, the Chief Minister welcomed the private companies operating in other provinces to express interest in setting up emergency response centres in Gilgit-Baltistan as well. On the occasion, the Chief Minister said that the provincial government is committed to solve the problems faced by the people.
