Given the climbing of tensions with India following the attack on Pahalgam, the federal government ordered oil companies and refineries to ensure maximum availability of diesel and jet fuel, said Express News reported on Friday.
Sources in oil marketing companies have confirmed that the directive was published shortly after the Pahalgam incident intensified the regional security environment.
The Directorate General of Petroleum has asked PSO and other importers to speed up oil imports and maintain high reserves to avoid food disturbances in an emergency.
Oil refineries and marketing companies have been invited to guarantee many quantities of high -speed diesel and reaction fuel in particular.
Oil managers have said that current fuel stocks – including aviation and level of transport fuel – are sufficient, but precautionary measures are implemented within the framework of emergency protocols.
Tensions between India and Pakistan are again increasing with fears of a new escalation in the aftermath of the deadly attack by Pahalgam in Jammu and the Kashmir of Indian origin (Iiojk).
India, in a unilateral decision, has suspended the industrial water Treaty, has downgraded diplomatic relations, ordered the Pakistanis to leave India and seal the border passage of Attari-Wagah, to stop the civil movement and trade.
In response, Pakistan warned that any attempt by India to block water flow in Pakistan would be treated as an act of war. The press release follows a high -level NSC meeting, which also approved the closure of the Wagah border passage.
