Chitral Updare Report
CHITRAL: The federal government has assured the district government of Chitral that it will provide 3.5 millions litres of diesel to the valley soon.
The decision was taken on the request of the district administration in the wake of a fuel crisis looming large on the district due to the current financial constraints and blockade of communication in winter.
The Pakistan State Oil has at present 1.56 million litres of fuel stock in the district while the daily local consumption is 50,000 to 60,000 litres. There was apprehension that the district will be left with no fuel at all after the closure of the Lowari pass this year, as supplies would also be impossible via the Afghan route this year due to military operation in Bajaur and other parts of the NWFP.
