The government on Thursday strongly denied reports claiming that petrol and diesel prices are set to increase, stating clearly that no such decision has been taken. The clarification came after several media reports and social media posts suggested that fuel prices could soon be raised, leading to concern among the public.

Officials said the reports were false and not based on any official announcement. They urged citizens not to believe or spread unverified information about petrol and diesel price hikes. According to government sources, any revision in fuel prices is always communicated through official channels and not through unofficial reports or rumors.

Fuel prices are an important issue for households and businesses. Petrol and diesel are widely used for transport, agriculture, and daily activities. Even a small increase in prices can affect travel costs, food prices, and overall living expenses. Because of this, news about fuel price hikes spreads quickly and often creates panic.

Authorities said that at present, there is no proposal under consideration to increase petrol or diesel prices. They added that fuel pricing depends on various factors such as global crude oil prices, supply conditions, and economic policies. However, no immediate change is planned.

The government also highlighted the role of social media in spreading such rumors. Officials noted that misleading messages can reach a large number of people in a short time, causing confusion. They advised the public to verify information from reliable sources before sharing it further.

Industry observers said that global oil prices and international market trends continue to influence fuel pricing decisions. However, they also pointed out that any decision on price revision is taken after careful review and is officially announced to the public.

The government’s statement has provided relief to many people who were worried about a possible increase in fuel costs. For now, petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged, and there is no official indication of a hike in the near future.

Authorities have once again reminded citizens to stay informed through official updates and avoid spreading rumors, as false information can lead to unnecessary concern and misunderstanding.
