  "account": "Petrol stations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad have ceased providing the Prime Minister's petrol subsidy after fuel prices were reduced. Pump owners and managers began charging customers the full price, rather than offering the discounted rate. Due to fluctuating fuel costs, several stations halted selling petrol entirely. The subsidy has been absent for four consecutive days, resulting in escalating conflicts between customers and business owners. The All Pakistan Petrol Pump Owners Association's Vice Chairman, Nauman Butt, dismissed allegations that the association ordered pumps to stop selling petrol at the subsidized rate. Butt stated that the government has not rescinded the subsidy program, and the association has not instructed any pump owner to cease implementing it. The subsidy initiative was introduced in September when Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a Rs. 100 per litre reduction for a limited monthly quantity of petrol for motorcycles, rickshaws, and cars up to 800cc. Recently, the prime minister instructed pump owners to pass on the relief to consumers and declared the subsidy program would remain in effect until at least the end of December.",
