Inspections are being carried out across Islamabad to check the accuracy of fuel dispensing systems and ensure that consumers receive the quantity of petrol and diesel for which they pay.
The deputy commissioner has directed officials to ensure inspections of all petrol pumps across the city.
Earlier, inspections in the Rural and Nilore zones resulted in the sealing of 11 nozzles after they were found dispensing less petrol than indicated on the machines.
