Pakistan: petrol price at all-time high after Rs 22.20/L hike; diesel also costlier amid economic crisis

Petrol now costs Rs 272 per litre, while diesel costs Rs 280 per litre, as per reports.

Amid a burgeoning economic crisis in Pakistan, petrol prices have reached an all-time high in the country.
Petrol now costs Rs 272 per litre, while diesel costs Rs 280 per litre, as per reports. Petrol prices were raised by Rs 22.20 per litre, and diesel by Rs 17.20 per litre.
The announcement came after the Shehbaz Sharif government tabled a supplementary finance bill in the National Assembly to hike goods and services tax to 18% to raise Rs 170 billion in revenue. The increase came as finance minister Ishaq Dar presented the money bill in the parliament to fulfil the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) demand to increase revenue before it releases USD 1.1 billion out of the USD 7 billion loans.
The increase in the price of petroleum products was one of the preconditions of the International Monetary Fund, which will lead to a hike in the already record-high inflation, coupled with the new fiscal measures undertaken through the 'mini-budget'.

Delhi pollution: ban on plying of BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers lifted 

However, a Delhi government official said a meeting will be held on Monday to decide whether the curbs should continue or not.

Owners of BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers will now be able to take out their vehicles on Delhi roads as the curbs imposed on them amid rising pollution levels ended on Sunday.
However, a Delhi government official said a meeting will be held on Monday to decide whether the curbs should continue or not. "The restrictions were in place till November 13 and they have not been extended yet. The AQI (air quality index) has been stable in the last four days in the city. There is a meeting tomorrow to discuss what needs to be done," he said.
During a review meeting last week, the Delhi government's transport department had decided that the curbs under stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) should remain in place for the next few days instead of a knee-jerk reaction.

"BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers in Delhi will remain banned under Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan," Environment Minister Gopal Rai had said on Monday.
In an order on Monday, the transport department had said that owners of vehicles found plying in violation of the rule would be prosecuted under the Motor Vehicles Act, which could invite a fine of Rs 20,000.
Vehicles deployed for emergency services and government and election-related work do not come under the ban purview.
The transport department had said in its order, "As per the directions provided under Stage III of revised GRAP, there will be a restriction to ply BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel light motor vehicles (four-wheelers) in the jurisdiction of NCT of Delhi. The above directions will remain enforced till November 13 or downward revision in GRAP stage, whichever is earlier. The restrictions will continue beyond November 13, if CAQM orders GRAP-III and above restrictions."

Diesel's micro-mini belt skirt is worth Rs 74,000, leaves internet shocked

There are certain products which make us feel that fashion cannot be functional every time and Diesel's latest skirt is an example of impractical things being sold at a whopping price. See here.

In another example of fashion isn't always functional, a skirt launched by Italian luxury brand, Diesel is drawing all attention. The skirt marked its debut at Diesel's Fall/Winter 2022 collection and netizens are shocked by the price tag which says, 795 Pounds that's about Rs. 74,572.&nbsp;
A TikTok user also shared a video with an honest review, saying that the skirt's material feels more like rubber rather than leather. Also, the use of velcro instead of buttons or zip has downgraded its quality.&nbsp;
She further added that she stepped outside wearing the skirt but was not comfortable walking or sitting, so she had to come back home just 20 minutes later.&nbsp;
Following this, Diesel is being trolled by netizens and one of them said that the brand has hit rock bottom.&nbsp;
