Pakistan State Oil (PSO) is fuelling relief efforts being undertaken in the Siachen Glacier region, supplying high-speed diesel (HSD) to the Pakistan Army. According to a press release issued here on Tuesday, PSO has dispatched an immediate consignment of 40,000 liters of HSD for use in the rescue operations taking place in the Gyari region.
The rescue efforts are taking place after an avalanche engulfed an army camp on Saturday morning, burying 135 soldiers alive under mounds of snow. Keeping in view the urgency of the situation, PSO not only provided the fuel supplies on a priority basis; it has also geared up its logistical operations in the region to ensure continuous and ongoing support for the armed forces. The company pledged that it would continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Pakistan Army and prayed for the safe return of soldiers.-PR
