He added that the number of motorcycles in Pakistan that are more than 20 years old exceeds <strong>25 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The petroleum minister also thanked petrol pump owners across Pakistan for helping deliver the benefit of the subsidy scheme to the public without charging any additional fees.<\/p>\n<p>He said the government would not repeat what he described as the previous government&#8217;s approach of providing relief without adequate preparation. According to the minister, the previous government provided relief without proper planning, bringing Pakistan close to default.<\/p>\n<h3>Human Angle<\/h3>\n<p>Changes in petrol prices directly affect the daily expenses of millions of citizens, particularly motorcycle users and low-income households. Continuing the subsidy could provide relief to families facing rising transport and living costs, while the long-term financial sustainability of the scheme will remain an important consideration.<\/p>\n<h3>HRNW Support Appeal<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Human Rights News Worldwide (HRNW)<\/strong> works to promote human rights, civil liberties, justice and human dignity.
