“If there is an increase in fuel prices, it is not to inconvenience the public, but to control the local demand for fuel. “During the tenure of the United National Front-led Government, a fuel pricing formula was implemented to determine the fuel prices. So the only solution left is to increase fuel prices,” Olga added. However, she added that no final decision has been taken regarding any increase in the fuel prices yet. Attempts to contact Gammanpila to inquire about the current situation with regard to any hike in fuel prices were not successful.
