As petrol and diesel prices have skyrocketed in the country, the employees have demanded to come to the office in a donkey cart. He has also said that he will set a new example in this regard.

A government official has written to the head of the civil aviation department asking for permission to come to the office on a donkey rather than a private vehicle. "We can't afford any other type of vehicle now," he said. He has also asked for permission to use a donkey cart at the airport. The letter went viral on social media and soon after it came to light.

In his letter, he said that inflation has broken the backbone not only of the poor but also of the middle class. He has said that it is difficult to use his private vehicle now. He has asked for permission to use a donkey cart at the airport. Petrol price in Pakistan has gone up to Rs 200 per liter. Diesel is also on the verge of reaching Rs 200.
