Increased CNG price

What would M Tamim like to say about the problems that have been caused by his decision? I think it was absolutely wrong. Why didn't the Chief Adviser stop him from taking this decision? If the Chief Adviser knew everything beforehand and still did not stop Mr. Tamim from taking this decision, then I think he is equally responsible for the chaos that increased CNG price has created. He could have increased it by 1 or 2 taka but instead he has doubled the price! This would not help the common people's cause at all. It would make the situation even worse. Already taxi and CNG auto-rickshaw fares have gone up. Bus owners are looking for opportunities to raise fares as well. Perhaps, Mr. Tamin did not think about the consequences that doubling the CNG price would lead to. I hope now he would agree that he has made a mistake. I am not against Mr. Tamim, I am against the decision that he has taken.
