ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Pervaiz Rashid said that Pakistan is providing petrol at the cheapest rates in the region and though the government could have earned Rs. 40 billion more by selling it at higher rates, it has decided to pass the benefits of reduction in oil prices on to the masses, reported Dunya News.
