AGARTALA, Feb 20 (TIWN): With the increasing fuel price hikes across the Nation vehicle owners, workers are majorly suffering. Unstoppable petrol, diesel prices have been causing massive resentments among the public but the Govt has no concern either in State and or at Centre. In such a condition, when diesel prices are close to 90 in Tripura, the bus owners have called on strike. Addressing in a press meet, the Bus Association leaders said that they tried to talk to the Govt many times but meeting with them is only delayed. By this time, huge prices in diesel have turned the business impossible and now they are reeling under losses unable to pay the workers. "We are saying sorry in advance to the people who will suffer due to the service off but the Govt is only responsible for that....", said a member of the Bus Association. Costlier fuel prices have irked public resentment in Tripura, but the Govt here has no concern.
