Earlier today (Sunday), Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif led a meeting in Lahore to talk about the proposed package of aid for oil users.
The government has decided to help low-income people who drive motorcycles, rickshaws, and cars with engines up to 800cc pay less for gas. Shehbaz Sharif, who is the Prime Minister of Pakistan, led a meeting in Lahore on Sunday to talk about the proposed relief package for oil users.
To cut costs even more, the SBP got rid of a 1.5% fee for debit and credit card use. The prime minister signed an order to add small cars with engines up to 800 cc to the programme that gives free gas to motorcycles and rickshaws. The government is thinking about giving a subsidy of Rs. 50 per litre of gasoline. This would lower the price for the subsidised market by a large amount.
The prime minister gave an order for the necessary departments to move quickly to implement the proposed programme and for everyone involved to work together to make a thorough plan for doing so.
The prime minister said that the poor, who use motorcycles, rickshaws, and smaller cars, will benefit from the subsidy. It’s important to know that the government hasn’t said anything yet about how this subsidy will be put into place.
