  "account": "Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices have soared in various Pakistani cities, despite two LPG cargo ships from Oman docking in the country's ports, with prices in several locations hovering between Rs. 600 and Rs. 650 per kilogram. Consumers in Karachi are paying Rs. 550 per kg, while those in Peshawar, Attock, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi are footing a price of Rs. 570, Rs. 600, and Rs. 600 respectively. In Quetta, the prices have dipped by Rs. 30 to Rs. 520 per kg. Notably, LPG shops in Lahore have been shut down for the second day in a row due to a strike. Although two LPG cargo ships from Oman made their arrival on Sunday, assuaging fears of a price drop, prices have not witnessed a significant fall across most markets. The soaring prices have forced LPG cylinder costs to exceed Rs. 10,000 in certain regions, and an 11kg domestic cylinder has reached Rs. 6,500 in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The official LPG rate is set at Rs. 279.34 per kg, but due to supply shortages and limited enforcement, consumers are bearing a much higher cost.",
