After increasing the prices of diesel, octane, petrol, and kerosene by Tk 15 to 20 per liter, people's suffering has not lessened.

There is a discussion about increasing supply, but no decision has been finalised.

Companies under BPC have been instructed to raise the supply of octane by 20 per cent and petrol and diesel by 10 per cent.
