The Balochistan government has fixed the price of Iranian smuggled petrol at Rs. 280 per litre to control rising costs and prevent overcharging. Officials have announced strict action against anyone who sells this fuel at a higher price.
Authorities clarified that this petrol will only be allowed to be sold within Balochistan. It cannot be transported or supplied to other provinces. This step has been taken to regulate the local market and ensure that the fuel is used only within the region.
Munir Ahmed Durrani stated that strict monitoring will be carried out to make sure all sellers follow the official rate. He emphasized that the administration will not tolerate any violations, including overpricing or illegal distribution.
The decision comes as part of efforts to provide some relief to local consumers who depend on this fuel due to limited access to regular petrol supplies. By setting a fixed price, the government aims to protect people from unfair charges and stabilize the market.
Officials are also focusing on improving enforcement to stop illegal transportation of petrol outside the province. Checkpoints and inspections may be increased to ensure compliance with the new rules.
This move highlights the government’s attempt to manage fuel supply challenges in Balochistan while maintaining control over pricing and distribution. Authorities believe that strict implementation of these measures will help maintain fairness and reduce exploitation in the local fuel market.
