According to sources in the Petroleum Division, the caretaker administration has chosen to increase the nation’s strategic petroleum reserves while hostilities still encircle the Middle East. The government’s action comes in response to Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, which started about a month ago with a surprise attack by the resistance organisation Hamas, which is fighting for a free Palestine, on an Israeli kibbutz. The sources stated that because Pakistan imports its fuel from other nations, there is an urgent need to boost the storage capacity of petroleum reserves. According to the sources, a comprehensive evaluation of the nation’s needs is necessary before determining the ultimate reserves and the amount of time they can last.
