Islamabad — The Petroleum Division has confirmed that no official change has been made to fuel prices. The government said no notification has been issued about petrol or diesel rates.
Authorities warned media outlets against spreading unverified reports. They said false news can confuse the public and create unnecessary concern. Officials stressed the importance of sharing only confirmed information about petrol prices.
Earlier, reports claimed that petrol prices had dropped to Rs 78 per litre. Diesel was also reported to be reduced to Rs 100 per litre. These claims quickly spread on social media and some news platforms.
However, the government has now rejected these reports. In its statement, the Petroleum Division said no such decision has been announced. It clarified that any change in fuel prices will only be shared through official channels.
Officials also revealed that a summary on petroleum prices is under process. This summary is expected to be sent to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif today. A final decision may be announced later tonight.
Senior government sources have hinted at a possible price reduction. They suggested that the public could receive relief soon. However, they did not confirm exact figures for petrol or diesel rates.
The government said it is aware of the financial pressure on citizens. Rising fuel costs have affected daily expenses and transport fares. Any reduction in petrol prices would help ease this burden.
Officials added that the decision will be based on market conditions. Global oil prices and exchange rates will play a key role. The government aims to balance relief with economic stability.
