Sharjah fuel shortage to end before Ramadan

Dubai: Sharjah residents can expect an end to the fuel shortage before Ramadan begins, a top official told Gulf News.

“Inshallah it will be resolved. In Ramadan there won’t be a lot of pressure on the stations. I am optimistic... Alternative solutions are in place, there won’t be problem,” the official, who declined to be named, said.

The government will consider adding more staff and increasing the hours of operation at Adnoc and Emarat stations in the emirate, he said, insisting that in summer there will be less demand for fuel as residents travel abroad.

The Sharjah Executive Council will meet today to discuss solutions to the fuel shortage after Enoc Group failed to supply petrol leading to a shutdown of their stations on Friday.

An Enoc Group spokesperson said the company cannot comment on the problem. “I agree that we should be more transparent, I agree 150 per cent, but we have directives not to talk about this issue now,” he said.
