Shehbaz Sharif said motorcycles, rickshaws and small vehicles are used by low-income people, so petroleum subsidy will directly lead to the relief of poor people.
He said despite severe economic difficulties, the government is trying to help the poor people in every possible way.
Minister of State for Petroleum Musadik Malik briefed the meeting about the strategy to implement the petroleum subsidy to low-income people.
