Karachi: Pakistan State Oil has repudiated the news circulating in some sections of the media fomenting speculations about shortage of fuel in the country.

argoes causing rumors about possible disruption of fuel supply and the subsequent fuel shortage in the country.

argoes were immediately allowed to berth and unload and the fuel supply resumed as usual. Pakistan State Oil has furthe
r informed that the company had even made arrangements to procure fuel from local refineries to ensur
e seamless fuel supply in case the unloading of c
argoes would have delayed any further.

e seamless supply of fuel in the country.
