The Shehbaz Sharif government has decided not to change fuel prices for the next two weeks. Instead, they plan to give relief by reducing electricity prices. The aim is to pass on the benefits of global oil price changes to the people in a different way.
A detailed plan is being prepared to lower electricity rates, and the relief package is expected to be announced soon. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that this decision will not only reduce electricity costs but also help control inflation.
Earlier, there were reports that petrol prices might be cut by Rs14 per litre. However, the government has chosen to focus on electricity relief instead. The Prime Minister is expected to address the nation soon to share the final details of this plan.
