Here are some of the developments we will be following today, Sunday, November 28, 2021.
The demolition of Karachi’s Nasla Tower remains unfinished on the fifth day since the work began on Wednesday. Karachi authorities were able to disperse protestors on Friday, but the possibility of renewed demonstrations lurks in the corner. Now, the Karachi Commissioner has banned the assembly of more than four people near the Nasla Tower by imposing section 144 of CrPC.
Oil prices in the international market have dropped significantly by almost $10 a barrel. Brent traded at $72.72 and WTI at $68.15. International oil was at $86 per barrel last month when the government increased prices of petrol and diesel. Now Pakistani consumers expect that the recent drop in the world oil will be reflected in the petrol pump prices. However, with the government planning to increase the petroleum development levy (PDL) and having pledged an increase in the dealers’ margin, there is a possibility that fuel prices could go up in Pakistan instead of going down. A summary is likely to be moved today.
The opposition alliance of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) tries to mobilize its supporters. PDM Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman will engage with the media in Sukkur today.
