Guwahati News Desk: Petrol prices have reached Rs 98.08 at Bharat Petroleum in Guwahati City on Saturday. Increasing fuel price which had reached almost Rs 100 has created panic among the vehicle owner.
In Guwahati City mostly traffic has been witness in the current days due to ongoing constructions of flyover in Maligaon and Sarabhatti area.
Hello Guwahati in conversation with a Guwahati resident says, “Refilling with Rs 100 now-a-days is very less, as petrol prices are increasing rapidly. I need to think twice before going out if the work is not that important. We take out our vehicle when it’s needed and very important to go. Mostly, I prefer two-wheeler to move within the city if we are more than two and it’s important to go then only we prefer four-wheeler. Moreover, managing with two-wheeler is best during this time”.
While another resident of Guwahati said, “Everyday I travel around 40 kms from my workplace to home but have given me a hard time due to rising of petrol prices. It makes me think twice to drive vehicles as I have to manage my living in this meagre amount of salary. However, the heavy traffic in Guwahati specially in the construction sites like Maligaon, Sarabhatti etc. is add-on. It both kills time and money, but now I feel as if the ruling government is giving a cold-eye to the struggles of the common people.”
