PM Shehbaz announces Rs100 per litre petrol relief for motorcycles, small vehicles
Says govt fully understands burden on public, will not leave people alone in difficult time
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced a special Rs100 per litre petrol relief scheme for motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqi rickshaws and cars with engines up to 800cc, aiming to alleviate the burden of rising oil prices on the public. The scheme, initiated during a period of turmoil caused by the US-Iran conflict and Yemeni attacks on Saudi energy facilities, will be implemented in Islamabad from Monday night and across Pakistan from Thursday night.
Registration for the relief scheme began on Sunday, with the public informed through an awareness campaign. The government's decision to introduce the daily petroleum pricing mechanism in July, replacing the previous weekly system, comes as global oil prices surge due to geopolitical tensions.
