Islamabad: In a surprising turn, it has emerged that the ex-refinery price of petrol decreased by Rs 13.58 per liter within a week, yet the government had earlier raised the retail petrol price by Rs 137.24 per liter. Following a directive from the Prime Minister, Rs 80 per liter was later rolled back, bringing the new petrol price to Rs 378.41 per liter.
