Petrol benefit

May 27, 2020

This refers to the letter, 'Cheap petrol' (May 21) by Arif Majeed. While disagreeing with the writer, I would suggest further reduction in petroleum products so as to pass on maximum benefit to the general public that is already facing hardship due to joblessness, poverty, high inflation.

Twenty-five percent of Pakistanis are living below the poverty line and passing such benefits to them is the need of the hour in order to make ends meet. There are many other measures to boost economy which the incumbent government must implement in consultation with experts.
