Who is accountable?
Only the Ministry of Energy’s Petroleum Division, through OGRA, can adjust ex‑depot prices. Yet the three independent X posts – Startup Pakistan, PakWheels and Shaheryar Hassan – provide the figures without any cost breakdown or official OGRA notice. The absence of a detailed statement leaves the revision opaque and fuels suspicion that the extra revenue is being padded into the state’s coffers.
Unverified relief promises
A single tweet claims that prices will stay unchanged on holidays, Saturdays and Sundays, and an automated summary mentions a “Petrol Relief Scheme” for motorcycles, rickshaws and small cars. No primary source corroborates either claim. Without an official document the government can hide behind rhetoric while the public bears the cost.
