Government keeps an eye on crude oil prices
The government has clarified that the fluctuations in crude oil prices in the international market are being continuously monitored. The main objective of the government is to provide stable prices to the common consumers. Currently, oil companies set prices based on global market trends and domestic economic conditions.

Strict action will be taken against those spreading rumors
