ISLAMABAD – People across the world are lowering prices during Ramadan as gesture to ease the financial strain, and usually it goes otherwise in Pakistan, until a recent case of special discount on Petrol and diesel prices.
The heartwarming gesture was reported from Narowaal where a petrol station owner slashed prices of petrol, offering discount of Rs3 compared to the official rate of 255 to curb financial strain during the holy month.
