Federal Minister of Petroleum Musadik Malik on Saturday addressed the confusion surrounding the recent reduction in petrol prices.
Addressing a press conference, he confirmed that the price cut was accurately reflected in the official notification, and the misunderstanding stemmed from a communication lapse within the ministry.
The minister reassured the public that the price reduction is precisely as stated in the notification. He explained that the ongoing decline in petroleum product prices led to a series of adjustments, which unfortunately caused some confusion.
Malik emphasized that the confusion was not intentional or criminal in nature but was due to a lack of effective communication.
To prevent such issues in the future, he committed to implementing strong measures to enhance communication within the ministry. He acknowledged the importance of clear and timely information dissemination, especially when it concerns vital commodities like petrol.
“We understand the impact of petrol prices on everyday life and the economy. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure that all information is accurately conveyed to avoid any misunderstandings,” said Minister Malik.
