He added, “Millions of liters of these products have been pumped in addition to strengthening the strategic stockpile, and the Ministry of Oil is keen to contribute effectively to the success of the plan to visit the tenth of Muharram.”
He continued, “Preparations, as in every year, began early with the formation of an operations room by the concerned officials, departments and formations. The operations room first strengthened the strategic stock of the holy Karbala Governorate, where the peak of the visit is, and the governorates of the Middle Euphrates with the necessary types of petroleum derivatives needed by the Husseini processions and government sectors, as well as strengthening the distribution outlets and electrical power distribution stations, as well as private generators, in addition to establishing a number of mobile stations to equip vehicles to transport visitors to and from Karbala.”
