NAWABSHAH, March 18: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal has criticized the government for increasing petroleum prices. Talking to journalists, MMA leader Aslam Shaikh said the frequent increases in prices of petroleum products would multiply miseries of people who were already facing hardships due to high prices of different essential commodities. He said transport fares had also increased. Mr Shaikh, who is Naib Ameer of the Nawabshah Jamaat-i-Islami, demanded that the government should review the decision. PROTEST: Members of the Sindh Small Traders Association took out a protest procession against unannounced load-shedding of electricity and price hike here on Wednesday.
