The Prime Minister Fuel Relief Scheme has provided cheap petrol to over 7.5 million citizens since its inception on September 15, according to official data. The scheme continues to offer fuel subsidies for motorcycles, rickshaws, and vehicles up to 800cc. Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif reviewed the scheme's progress and emphasized the government's commitment to supporting low and middle-income groups amid rising petroleum prices.
As of now, more than 8.4 million people have registered for the subsidy, with 10.3 million out of 12.2 million tokens issued being utilized. The scheme, which is now in its third week, allows those who received assistance during the initial two weeks to receive it again for the third week. The program is being carried out across 129 districts, with all petrol stations offering the subsidy.
A 24-hour call center has been set up to assist citizens and petrol pump operators, while the Prime Minister's Office Public Affairs Unit and public representatives are aiding in the registration process. Shehbaz Sharif commended the government departments and officials involved in the implementation, calling it a demonstration of coordinated efforts.
He also noted that the scheme's database could potentially be repurposed in the future to provide assistance to citizens.
