Impact on Public
This is the second major increase within a week, raising serious concerns about inflation. As fuel prices rise, transportation costs increase, which directly affects the prices of food and other essential items.
Many citizens are already struggling with high living costs, and continuous fuel price hikes may further increase the financial burden. Experts warn that if this trend continues, inflation could rise even more in the coming days.
