The report added that the ugly
situation had made intercity and intracity transport fares to increase,
resulting in further excruciating socio-economic pains.
A cross section of the motorists interviewed by NAN lamented the development, saying it is aggravating the suffering of the people.
They called on the State Government and the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) to take drastic action against any erring marketers.
