‘Welfare of people is the priority of government’, Shibli Faraz

Information Minister Shibli Faraz has said the prices of petroleum products have been reviewed due to surge in international oil prices.

In a tweet on Saturday, he said welfare of the people is the priority of government and efforts will be continued to provide them the relief.

کروناوباءنے دنیا بھر کی معیشتوں کو متاثر کیا۔بین الاقوامی سطح پر پٹرولیم مصنوعات کی قیمتوں میں ایسااضافہ نہیں دیکھا۔اسی وجہ سے قیمتوں میں نظرثانی کرنا پڑی۔تاہم خطے کے دیگر ممالک کی نسبت پاکستان میں کم اضافہ ہوا۔عوام کی فلاح پہلی ترجیح ہے،انہیں ریلیف دینے کی کوشش کرتے رہیں گے۔

The Minister, however, said the increase made in Pakistan is less than when compared with other regional countries.

Earlier on June 26, government decided to revise the existing prices of petroleum products in view of the rising oil prices trend in the global market.

The price of petrol was increased by Rs25.58 to Rs100.10 per litre, while price of High Speed Diesel (HSD) increased by Rs21.13 to Rs101.46 per litre.

On the other hand, the price of Light Diesel Oil (LDO) increased by Rs17.84 to Rs55.98 per litre and the price of Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO), has been increased by Rs23.50 to Rs59.06 per litre.
