August 21, 2024 (MLN): Minister for Petroleum Musadik Masood Malik on Tuesday said that the current gas tariff would remain unchanged until the winter months of December and January, as APP reported.

Addressing a press conference, he said that the gas tariff has not been increased, and the government is striving to avoid placing any additional burden on the people.

“If the need arises to provide relief, we will make decisions in consultation with all provinces and move forward together. However, our aim is to avoid increasing gas prices,” he said.

The minister said that 98% of domestic electricity consumers, who use up to 500 units, have been provided relief by the Punjab government.

He added that 86% of those consuming up to 200 units have also received relief from the federal government. He urged other provincial governments to offer similar relief if they wish.

He urged political leaders to refrain from spreading chaos and to participate in parliamentary committees to contribute to the nation’s development.
