Don't hike gas and electricity prices

Ignoring people's protests, the government went ahead and raised the price of gas and electricity from September 1, 2015. This move of the government is most unjust as BPC and Titas are making a huge profit, particularly as the cost of power generation has gone down considerably.

Industrialists, political parties and common people are protesting this move of the government. The price hike must immediately be withdrawn because it will increase the cost of production and affect the country's export business. In fact, we are living in a very strange country where the price of everything goes up except people's lives!
