Pakistan's LPG crisis deepens as prices hit 600 PKR/kg, hundreds of trucks stranded at Iran border
Pakistan's liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) crisis escalated as prices surged to 600 PKR/kg following the closure of the Gabd-Rimdan and Taftan crossings on October 17. The halt in imports, which typically supply 7,000 metric tonnes daily, has led to a 12-kg cylinder costing up to 8,200 PKR in some regions. Consumers face potential shortages as winter approaches.
