The Sources say that Ogra has recommended Rs20.7 increase in price of per litre petrol and Rs19.61 for diesel.

The government has increased Rs3.20 per litre of petrol while Rs 2.95 for Speed diesel and Rs 4.42 per litre for light diesel.  The price of per litre Kerosene oil was increased by Rs3.

Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has also recommended Rs11 increase in price of per litre diesel.

The Spokesperson says that the news about increase in POL prices is baseless as the authority has not advised the ministry for any increase in POL prices.

Federal Minister for Science and Technology Shibli Faraz says that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and others influenced that inquiry to save their own skin and now the government under Prime Minister Imran Khan decided to make those names public, after thorough scrutiny of the available material.

The Petroleum Ministry has rejected the summary of Ogra of Rs10 increase on per litre petrol.

The Sindh Chief Minister appeared before the top court in compliance of its directives and explained the situation.
