Islamabad : Feb 1, 2024: In its last week in the office , caretaker government of Mr Kakar has given a deadly blow to the commuters, in particular, and the public at large in general by pushing up petrol price by Rs 13.55 a litre. It also revised upwards diesel price by Rs 2.75 per litre. With a big increase of Rs 13.55 , the price of petrol has jumped up to Rs 272.89 per litre and with addition of Rs 2.75, the rate of diesel per litre increased to Rs 278.96 .
