Karachi (Commerce Desk): Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices have climbed to Rs500 per kilogram in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while rates in mountainous areas have reached Rs600 per kilogram.
According to Irfan Khokhar, chairman of the LPG Distributors Association, the official LPG price for October has been set at Rs279 per kilogram. However, consumers in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are being forced to pay significantly higher prices.
Khokhar alleged that the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) had remained a silent spectator amid rising prices and what he described as profiteering.
He urged the government to use the SSGC terminal to bring LPG prices under control.
