Gas Prices Have Been Increased As Well
Pakistanis are being forced to pay a big amount of money in monthly bills for electricity and gas. From 1 July 2018 there have been a great increase in the prices of petroleum products and gas prices.
Hopefully, the new government will take steps to minimize production costs, taxes and duties. So the public will be able to think about other things in life than just paying bills.
The Caretaking government has raised petrol prices twice in the last month, along with an increase in gas rates. Under the current situation people are finding it hard to carry out their daily routine, as a large number of Pakistanis earn low wages or salaries.
