Rising LPG Prices: Rickshaw Driver Forced to Cut Back on Food
Published
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices in Pakistan have risen significantly, and the impact is falling directly on the low-income segment. LPG is often called the "fuel of the poor" because it is generally considered a cheap fuel.
Rashid Ali is 33 years old and the father of two children. He drives an LPG-powered motorized auto rickshaw and waits for passengers. His daily earnings depend on this vehicle, so the increase in the gas price directly affects his livelihood.
Due to rising gas prices, Rashid Ali's expenses have increased, while his income has not risen accordingly. In this situation, he has had to cut back on food for his household. Many rickshaw drivers like him are facing similar financial pressure.
This issue is especially important for those whose livelihoods depend on LPG-powered vehicles. If LPG prices do not stabilise, the difficulties of such people may persist.
