Pakistan-Record jump in oil prices: ‘A move to crush public’

ISLAMABAD-The government on Sunday delivered another blow to the already hard-pressed masses in terms of increasing the petroleum prices by over 14 per cent besides jacking up the rates of the commoners’ fuel namely the kerosene oil and diesel.

This is the second increase in petrol prices in one month and sixth time in five months.
The latest increase in the prices of the petroleum products would impact directly the living cost of the commoners as it would not only soar the common man’s fuel consequent upon the kerosene price-hike but would also fuel the transportation cost for the commuters.
