  "summary": "<PRESS RELEASE>\nThe Pakistani government has launched a special relief scheme to provide discounted petrol for vulnerable motorists, including motorcycle riders, rickshaw drivers, and small car owners with engines up to 800cc. The Prime Minister's Special Relief Scheme aims to alleviate the burden of rising fuel costs on households already struggling with tight budgets. Motorcycle, rickshaw, and Qingqi users will receive Rs500 (around Dh6.60) in petrol relief every week, while small-car owners can receive up to 10 litres of petrol at a discounted rate of Rs100 (around Dh1.33) per litre, saving up to Rs1,000 (around Dh13.25) per allocation. The scheme has been expanded to include vehicles registered after January 1, 2006, and registration through SMS is now free. To register, eligible motorists should send an SMS to 9771 in the format: REG [CNIC number] [vehicle number without spaces] [first English letter of the vehicle’s brand].",
