ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Petroleum Division ke notification ke mutabiq hukumat ne Juma ko Hafta 31 October se Peer 2 November tak ki muddat ke liye high-speed diesel ki qeemat mein Rs2.29 fi litre izafa kar ke use Rs402.96 kar diya aur petrol ki qeemat Rs377.91 par barqarar rakhi.
Yeh musalsal doosra din hai ke petrol ki qeemat barqarar rakhi gayi hai, jab hukumat ne Middle East se supply ke khadshat par tel mehnga hone ki wajah se is hafte ke shuru mein donon fuels ki qeematein barhayi theen. Hukumat petrol par taqreeban Rs114 aur diesel par Rs100 fi litre taxes aur duties wasool kar rahi hai.
Jamaat-e-Islami ke ameer Hafiz Naeemur Rehman ne Mangal ko Wazir-e-Azam Shehbaz Sharif se mulaqat kar ke petroleum levy khatm karne par zor diya. Donon fareeqon ne 17 September se motorcycle, rickshaw aur 800cc tak ki gariyon ke malikan ko di jane wali fuel relief scheme ko wusat dene par ghaur ke liye aik mushtarka committee banane par ittefaq kiya. Naeemur Rehman keh chuke hain ke agar koi bara relief elan na kiya gaya toh un ki jamaat November ke wast mein Islamabad ki taraf march karegi.
July se Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority mukhtasar waqfon se qeematein muqarrar kar rahi hai, jab 28 February ko US-Iran jang shuru hone ke baad ghair mustahkam aalami mandiyon ke mutabiq hukumat ne baar baar nazar-e-sani ka tareeqa apnaya. 3 April ko diesel Rs520.35 aur petrol Rs458.41 ki buland tareen satah par pahunch gaye thay, jabke jang se pehle yeh taqreeban Rs281 aur Rs266 thay.
Hukumat ne kifayat shiari ke iqdamat bhi dobara nafiz kiye hain, jin ke teht bazar raat 9 baje tak band karna lazmi hai aur teen maheene ke liye sarkari gariyon ka fuel quota aadha kar diya gaya hai. Diesel ki qeematon mein tabdeeli ka asar poori maeeshat par parta hai kyunke yeh fuel bhari transport, bijli gharon aur bare generators mein istemal hota hai, jabke petrol zyada tar nijee gariyon, rickshaws aur motorcycles ko mutasir karta hai.
