A University of Punjab MPhil student has discovered oil reservoirs in thousand-year-old limestone mountains in the Kohistan salt range.

Noman Zeb noted that his study also revealed similar mountain ranges in the Potohar Range. He emphasized that a substantial quantity of oil can be extracted from these areas under government supervision. Utilizing these reservoirs could help reduce the power shortage affecting the country.
