In this regard, the probe committee has directed CEO’s of three oil companies to appear before the investigation team tomorrow. The three companies include Hascol Petroleum Limited, Shell and GO Oil Company. 

The inquiry committee will examine the existing reserves of the three oil companies. Earlier in the day, the Petroleum Division ordered legal action against two oil marketing companies after shortage of petroleum across the country.
