The currently residing inflation and instability in the economy of Pakistan reflect back on the previous corrupt ruling elites. In order to provide some relief to Pakistanis bearing with the deteriorating conditions, OGRA has recently provided a beneficial strategy. As of today, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has proposed a decrease in petrol prices for the month of December.
Petrol prices in Pakistan ‘expected’ to be reduced for December!
Apparently, very often, Pakistanis experience a sudden hike or decrease in petroleum products due to critical circumstances. Similarly, back in August, the incumbent government had directly increased the petrol prices by Rs. 5.15, worrying the nation. Fortunately, this time, petrol prices are ‘expected’ to be reduced in Pakistan for December after OGRA submitted the proposal.

Certainly, the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) government is all hands in to work towards Pakistan development. Among the chaos and economic decline, earlier this month, the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) found new oil and gas reserves in Sindh. Eventually, the new discovery will help end the energy crisis prevailing in Pakistan.
