In a welcome move ahead of Independence Day, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif-led government has announced a massive reduction in petroleum prices, providing much-needed relief to the public.
As per the latest announcement, the price of petrol has been slashed by Rs 8.47 per litre, bringing the new price to Rs 260.96 per litre.
Additionally, the cost of high-speed diesel has been reduced by Rs 6.70 per litre, with the new price set at Rs 266.07 per litre.
This reduction in fuel prices is expected to bring some relief to citizens already burdened by rising living costs. The move is seen as a significant gesture by the government to ease the financial pressures on the public, particularly during a time of economic challenges.
