Manufacturers of edible oil have announced price cuts for oil and ghee to help consumers during Ramadan.
Oil and ghee prices
According to details, the prices of first-grade ghee and oil were decreased by Rs10 to 40.
Grade I ghee and oil will be sold at Rs655 per kg whereas grade II ghee and oil manufacturing companies have not announced any relief so far.
Citizens have demanded from the Punjab government to lower the cost of second-grade ghee and oil as well.
Moreover, they have requested to check the cost and sale price of oil companies.
Ramadan Package
Following the lead of the federal government, the Punjab caretaker cabinet has announced the country’s “largest” and “unique” Ramadan relief package.
As part of this special package, the provincial cabinet, led by Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, approved a Rs53 billion programme to provide free wheat flour bags to families earning less than Rs60,000. Families with identity cards will receive three bags of 10kg flour free of charge during the holy month.
The package will benefit more than 15 million families and 100 million people.
The cabinet decided that free wheat flour would be distributed starting on Sha’ban 25 and lasting through Ramadan 25.
As part of this package, which has the full support of the federal government and aims to protect the poor and middle class from the negative effects of inflation, a million residents of the federal capital will receive free wheat flour and gasoline during Ramadan.
Punjab has announced Pakistan’s ‘largest’ Ramadan relief package for the working class.
