Petrol has become expensive even for suicide...God what plague has you set upon us in the shape of PPP
Prices of all commodities fluctuate every day, in fact every moment. It is a global issue not just Pakistan. The more uncertainty in the Middle East and attacks is causing the prices of commodities to rise. In fact the price of food is going to go up soon. Unless there is peace and quiet prices would not come down.
