Petroleum Division refutes reports of petrol stations' closure from May 1

The Petroleum Division refuted on Thursday reports claiming that petrol stations were to shut down in the country owing to fuel shortage.

“There is no truth to reports of the closure of petrol pumps from May 1. The supply of petroleum products will continue uninterrupted,” the Petroleum Division posted on X.

It said, “Spreading panic among the people through fake propaganda should be avoided.”

The Petroleum Division pointed out that uninterrupted supply of petroleum products in the country had been ensured since the start of the war in the Middle East, adding that their availability would be ensured in the future as well.
