OGRA had presented two proposals regarding petroleum prices. The first was made keeping in view the international prices. The second proposal was made in the light of keeping the levy on petrol and diesel at Rs30.

However, Prime Miniter Imran Khan did not approve the proposal saying people were already facing miseries due to the torrential rains and coronavirus pandemic.
