The prices of petroleum products in Pakistan have risen by a massive PKR 60 per litre in about a week taking them to record levels and there have been arbitrary increases in the prices of necessary items by many traders, local media said.
In Pakistan, the prices of petroleum products determine the prices of almost everything due to the role of fuel in transportation.
As the country increased the prices of petrol and diesel, the traders arbitrarily increased the prices of all daily use and necessary items, and the transporters increased the fare to a mind-boggling level, local media said.
