Kabul residents complain of soaring fuel prices
As winter is approaching, Kabul residents express concerns and complain about rising in fuel prices, especially coal and firewood.
Kabul residents said that economic problems, lack of work and high fuel prices have caused them to not be able to provide the fuel they need for winter.
Some fuel sellers however believe that the reason for the increase in the price of fuel is the increase in rent and tax.
“The rent fare has doubled and the tax has also increased,” said Khan Wazir, fuel seller.
Meanwhile, Nematullah Barakzai, the spokesperson of Kabul Municipality, said that there is a specific price list in the market which is being implemented accordingly.
Every year with the approach of winter season, the price of fuel increases and citizens criticize the neglect of government officials for not controlling the market.
