In the international market prices of petroleum products continue to slide downward and there are speculations that it may come down to $25 per barrel very soon.
It is amusing that despite substantial reduction in oil prices the government has not transferred the benefit of reduced petroleum products prices to the people though when the prices of these products rise in international market the authorities concerned immediately enhance it without consulting the representatives of the people.
Last month when the people criticised the government for not reducing the prices of petroleum products, through media and TV channels, the Sindh government reduced the price by a rupee which is totally insignificant and a cruel joke with the people. The government is requested to reduce the petrol and furnace oil prices at least by Rs 5 which will satisfy the people.
