Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) will take decision on fare hike of public transports following the rise in fuel prices.
A committee consisted of members from different public and private bodies will hold a meeting on Sunday to take a decision in this regard.
The transport owners of the country are enforcing the nationwide strike in protest against hike in prices of diesel and kerosene. The strike started on Friday.
The government on Wednesday increased the prices of diesel and kerosene by Tk15 per litre following the prices of global market. Now, the customers are buying diesel and kerosene for Tk80 per litre from Thursday.
It is feared that the sudden price increase of the fuels may cause hike in prices of essential commodities in the market as the agriculture and transportation sectors largely depend on diesel.
