Pakistani prime minister unveils fuel relief plan for two-wheelers and small cars
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a scheme to ease fuel costs for motorcycles, autos and vehicles up to 800 cc, citing rising oil prices.
Shehbaz Sharif said his government will introduce a relief package aimed at petroleum consumers who ride motorcycles, operate autos or drive cars of up to 800 cc. The move responds to a recent surge in global oil prices linked to Middle-East tensions. In a statement, the prime minister emphasized that the public should not be left to shoulder the burden alone. Details of the assistance were not disclosed, with further information promised later.
Why it matters
Rising fuel costs affect daily commuters and small business owners, so the relief plan could ease household expenses.
