National Movement for Consumer Right’s Protection is asking the Finance Ministry to make the hidden fuel price formula public.
“We condemned the government’s move of increasing fuel prices while talking about a formula,” NMCRP Chairman Ranjith Withanage pointed out.
“We ask the government to make the fuel price formula public so that the public can see what this formula actually is.”
