Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samity today demanded the government cancels its decision to increase fuel price and thus relieve people of the transport strike.
In 2016, when fuel price was cut down by TK 3, the bus fare was brought down by only TK 0.3.
So, now that the fuel price has been raised by TK 15, the bus fare must not be increased more than by TK 0.15, Mozammel Hoque Chowdhury, secretary general of the organisation while reading out a paper during a press conference.
Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samity arranged the press conference at Dhaka Reporter's Unity to protest the fuel price hike and "public harassment in the name of transport strike".
