Oil supply to Attock refinery restored

ISLAMABAD:

The movement of crude oil and petroleum products to and from Attock Refinery Limited resumed late Wednesday night after authorities stepped in to ease disruptions, the refinery's management said.

The restoration was facilitated through the intervention of Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik enabling road transport to return to normal.

A day earlier, the company said its main crude distillation unit has been shut down after disruptions in oil supply and product dispatch caused by traffic restrictions in the federal capital.
