The federal government has approved in principle to give subsidized petrol to motorbikes and rickshaw owners, only days after hiking gasoline prices to an all-time high.
The government has decided to provide another round of stipends to less privileged people through the Ehsaas program, allowing them to get critical food items at a lower cost.
Both decisions were decided on Wednesday at a meeting of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) core committee.
