Recent posts on social media sites show the new petrol price at Rs312 after a whopping increase of Rs22 per litre, and the diesel price clocked at Rs323 after a Rs19.60 hike.

As the post created a frenzy among Pakistanis, let it be known that the government of Pakistan has not shared the price update being circulated online.
