To help counter the rising cost of living.

In a move to counter the rising cost of living and fuel prices, Bahrain mulls giving its citizens 100 litres of free petrol every month.

The free proposal, which will be voted on by Council of Representatives, was submitted by the Financial and Economic Affairs Committee.

This comes in the wake of rising fuel prices hitting low and middle-income families, as per local media reports.
