Nato supply restoration likely today

KARACHI: Owners of oil tankers have been signaled to stay ready for restoration of Nato supplies by the Interior Ministery, as a decision in this regard is expected today, Geo News reported.

Loaders and tankers have started to make their way into Pakistan from Afghanistan.

Chairman Oil Tankers Association, Yousuf Sherwani has said that supply of oil to Nato would begin immediately after a decision to reopen the routes. The decision would be conveyed through a press conference by the Interior Ministry officials, he added.

However, Opposition leader in the National Assembly, Chaudhry Nisar in his reaction to the possible restoration of Nato supplies said Pakistan Tehreek Insaf and Jamat-e-Islami would be contacted for a campaign against such a decision of the government.

"Muslim Legue-N does accept the restoration of Nato supplies," he said.
