CNG autos and taxis will be more affected

The reason for the increase in the price of CNG is being attributed to the crisis in the global energy market due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia and the increase in fuel purchase cost. The increased prices are likely to have the biggest impact on auto rickshaw and taxi drivers running on CNG.

Common people are troubled by inflation

On one hand the prices of CNG are increasing, on the other hand the passengers traveling by auto-taxi daily are worried. People say that the household budget is already deteriorating due to inflation. Now the cost of transport will also increase. It will be difficult to go to work every day. At present, the Transport Department and the concerned authority have not taken any decision regarding increasing the fare, but it is feared that the burden of increase in gas prices will fall on the passengers.
