Petroleum supply to get better in three days: Minister

June 11, 2020 05:18 PM


Federal Minister for Energy Omar Ayub Khan on Thursday said that supply of petroleum products would improve in next three days.
He was talking to media after appearing before the Peshawar High Court in a case related to petrol shortage.
Omar Ayub Khan said action against the hoarders is underway. Mafia is creating problems to restrain people from getting benefit from the reduced fuel prices, he added.
Replying to a question, the minister said FIRs have been registered against the hoarders involved in petroleum shortage and said that demand of the petroleum products is higher than 30 percent of the current supply.
Earlier, the federal government had formed an investigation committee to probe the ‘artificial’ petroleum shortage in the country.
According to the PSO, most of the oil marketing companies, operating in the country, did not have 21 days reserves of the petroleum products in April despite the companies were bound by licensing requirements to ensure a minimum of 21 days of consumption cover of all petroleum products at all times.
