LPG price goes up by Rs5/kg


LAHORE: The price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) shot up by Rs5/kg in the country, increasing to Rs105/kg on Sunday.
According to LPG Industries Association Pakistan, the price of a gas cylinder meant for domestic use has been increased by Rs60 while a commercial cylinder's price has gone up by Rs230.
Officials said the increase in LPG prices was due to the halt in supply of the fuel from the Pakistan-Iran border crossing in Taftan.
Last month, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) had issued a notification stating the increase in LPG prices for the month of August.

The Department of Health has conceded the initiative to trace contacts of people infected with Covid-19 was launched without carrying out an assessment of its impact on privacy. The Open Rights Group (ORG) says the admission means the initiative has been unlawful since it began on 28 May. The government said there is no evidence of data being used unlawfully. The test and trace system involves people being asked to share sensitive personal information.
