Recently, the government has approved a significant increase in the price of petrol, causing concern for consumers about the impact on their daily lives. Official notifications indicate that the price of petrol per liter has risen by Rs. 13.55, bringing it to a new price of Rs. 272.89.
This decision has raised concerns among the public, as it not only affects individual commuters but also has a ripple effect on the overall cost of living. Diesel prices have also been adjusted, with an approved increase of Rs. 2.75 per liter. Additionally, light diesel oil prices have increased by Rs. 2.30 per liter.
However, there is a slight relief for consumers of furnace oil, as the government has approved a reduction of 0.24 per liter in its price. The Prime Minister’s special assistant on petroleum has emphasized the need for these price adjustments, citing global market dynamics and economic considerations.
As citizens grapple with these changes, the government’s decision has become a topic of heated debate, sparking discussions about economic policies and their impact on the average person.
