Inevitable in view of the hike in the diesel, CNG and petrol rates, says Minister
Tripura on Monday increased the fare and freight rates of public transport by 25% in view of the hike in the diesel, CNG and petrol prices. Transport Minister Pranajit Singha Roy said the BJP-led coalition government was implementing the increase for the second time after July 2018. Mr. Roy also announced introduction of ‘metre auto’ in the Agartala area with fixed fare. The Transport Department had procured 500 metres but could not use them owing to the elections to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council. He said there has been a 32% hike in diesel rates, petrol and CNG.
