ISLAMABAD: The district administration has registered cases against four petrol pumps and moved to cancel their No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) after discovering suspicious electronic devices used to manipulate fuel meters and short-change consumers.
The crackdown follows a citywide inspection of 43 filling stations across the capital. Authorities confirmed measuring irregularities at 14 stations, leading to the immediate sealing of 42 dispensing nozzles. Measurements at the remaining 29 petrol pumps met standard requirements.
The illegal electronic devices recovered during the operations allowed fuel dispensers to display a higher volume on meter screens than the actual amount delivered to vehicles.

Earlier on Friday, inspection teams sealed six petrol pumps and over 40 nozzles for delivering less fuel than shown. Staff members involved in operating the tampered dispensers were arrested on the spot.
Deputy Commissioner Islamabad has directed teams to inspect every fuel station operating in the federal capital to protect consumers from short-measuring and take strict legal action against owners violating standards.
