Pakistan raised petrol prices by PKR 1.35 and diesel by PKR 3.85, prompting opposition criticism.

Pakistan's government raised petrol prices by PKR 1.35 per litre, now at PKR 248.38, and high-speed diesel by PKR 3.85, effective until November 15. Opposition parties, including PTI and Jamaat-e-Islami, criticized the move, arguing it adds financial strain on citizens amid rising inflation. They contend that the increases are unjustified given the decline in global oil prices and warn that higher transport costs will further raise food prices.
