PM acknowledges public sufferings from fuel price hike
সংগৃহীত ছবি

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said that she fully understands the sufferings of the people due to the recent price hike of fuel and electricity rationing, reports UNB.

“We can realise the sufferings of the people,” she said while speaking at the meeting with organising secretaries of Awami League from eight divisions at her official residence Ganabhaban.

Hasina, chief of the governing Awami League, assured that her government will surely cut down the fuel oil price when it will come down in the global market.

She said, “We will adjust the prices of fuel oil whenever it comes down in the world market. I have given that directive too.”

Referring to ongoing power crisis and the countrywide load-shedding, she said that people have to endure this pain for some more days.

“When the coal-fired electricity stations go into production, our problems with power will fade away,” she said.
