Demand to roll back petro price hike

Issuing a press release on Tuesday evening, Federation Chairperson Yogendranath Karmacharya called for the government to withdraw price hike in view of festive season.

“We have opened prior ticket booking from September 21 to make easier for the passengers to travel during the festival. We could not open the ticket booking if the price hike was not rolled back within 48 hours”, he warned.

It may be noted that a meeting between the Department of Transport Management and Federation held on September 16 had decided to open ticket booking from September 21.
