Alhassan said the committee would not hesitate to take drastic measures against any filling station found to be tampering with its pump.
“Even though we have no control over prices, we have a stake in ensuring that petrol stations do not tamper with their pumps,” he said.
He said the committee has identified some filling stations that are in the habit of readjusting their pumps.
The committee chairman said the inspection exercise would be extended to all the nooks and crannies of the state.
