March 12, 2026 (MLN): No statement has been issued regarding a further increase in petrol prices in the country, which dismisses reports circulating on some television channels as incorrect.

According to a press release issued, the minister did not make any remarks about a further increase in petroleum product prices in Pakistan during the briefing.
