LPG Crisis Deepens Hardships for Lahore Rickshaw Drivers

Rising LPG prices have sharply reduced earnings for Lahore’s rickshaw drivers, leaving families struggling to afford basic necessities. Rashid Ali, who once earned Rs1,700 daily, now makes barely Rs800 as fuel costs surge following disruptions in Iranian imports. Traders say a 12kg LPG cylinder has jumped 56 per cent to Rs7,000, forcing drivers to cut expenses and meals.
