September 3, 2020 (MLN): A fire has reportedly broken out at an oil terminal in Kemari today, causing a suspension of petrol supply to other parts of the country from Karachi.
This was announced the All Pakistan Oil Tankers Association, which further said that massive losses had been incurred due to the fire.
This comes as a huge blow to most of the oil marketing companies, especially Pakistan State Oil and Shell, as they use this terminal to supply petroleum products across the country.
