Federal government increases petrol prices by Rs6 per litre
The federal government has increased the petrol price by Rs6.51 per litre. The government also increased the diesel prices by Rs19.39. The government announced the increase after the prices of petroleum products rose in the international market.
After the increase in petrol prices, the new petrol price in the country is Rs399.86. Similarly, after the increase in diesel prices, the new diesel price is Rs399.58.
It should be noted that earlier, in a statement issued by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), it was said that the news of a strike by petrol dealers is baseless, and there is no truth in the news of the closure of pumps on social media.

Previously, the All Pakistan Petroleum Pumps Owners Association (APPPOA) denied reports of a countrywide strike and closure of petrol pumps from May 1 to 5.
Before this, there were speculations that had been circulating on social media claiming that petrol pumps across Pakistan would remain closed during this period. The whole situation caused confusion among the public.
However, the association has now made it clear that there is no truth in these claims.
APPPOA Vice Chairman Nauman Ali Butt said that the reports are baseless and have no link with the organisation.
