Pakistan Adjusts Fuel Prices Amid Global Oil Fluctuations
Pakistan govt hikes diesel price by PKR 5.71, cuts petrol price by 35 paisa · thehansindia.com

The Pakistan government has changed the prices of diesel and petrol.

Diesel became more expensive by PKR 5.71 per litre, while petrol became cheaper by 35 paisa per litre.

This change is because of the ups and downs in global oil prices.

The government will now set fuel prices every day based on a seven-day average of global prices.

This decision has led to increases in public transport fares and freight charges.

Transport operators are worried about the frequent changes in fuel prices, as it affects their business and the fares they charge.

The government believes this new system is fair and transparent.
