In Lahore, Pakistan, students and daily commuters are feeling the financial strain from a significant rise in fuel prices, which have surged by 43% for petrol and 55% for high-speed diesel. The new prices, effective April 3, are PKR 458.4 per litre for petrol and PKR 520.35 per litre for diesel. Students like Ali Hassan, Mohammed Saleem, and Mohammed Zubair have expressed their concerns, stating that the rising costs are making basic mobility increasingly challenging. They fear that they may soon have to abandon their two-wheelers due to unaffordable fuel expenses. The students have called on the government for relief measures to ease their burden. Meanwhile, the National Assembly of Pakistan faced disruptions during a session intended to address various legislative matters due to protests from opposition lawmakers against the fuel price hikes. The government has attributed these increases to a global fuel crisis exacerbated by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, impacting energy supplies and leading to widespread discontent among citizens in Lahore and beyond.
