Petrol per litre Rs.147.83 from tomorrow in Pakistan
Dawood Ahmed :
ISLAMABAD: Federal government has increased the prices of petroleum products across the country. From tomorrow, per liter petrol would be available at Rs.147.83 across the country, Finance Division said in a notification on late Saturday night.
This is another petrol bomb dropped on the masses by the current government. People continue to face the brunt of inflation. Despite repeated promises of relief, the present government has failed to address the issue of inflation and increasing prices of petroleum products across the country.
The new prices will be effective from January 16 (Sunday)
According to the notification, the price of petrol has been increased by Rs3.01, from Rs144.82 to Rs147.83, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) has been raised by Rs3, from Rs141.62 to Rs144.62, the price of kerosene has been jacked up by Rs3, from Rs113.48 to Rs116.48, and the price of light diesel oil (LDO) has been increased by Rs3.33, from Rs111.21 to Rs114.54.
The new prices will be effective from January 16 (Sunday).
Masses have strongly opposed the recent rise in petroleum products and demanded practical relief. The prices of commodities and other necessary items are likely to go up after the increase in the prices of petroleum products.
