GenZ 2.0 Urges Government to Address Soaring Fuel Prices and Inflation

Kathmandu. GenZ 2.0 has drawn the government's attention to the hardships faced by the public due to the continuous rise in petroleum prices. Spokesperson Avin Limbu issued a statement urging the government to take immediate action, noting that the surge in fuel costs has led to an excessive increase in the prices of daily essential goods and services.

The statement issued by spokesperson Limbu highlights that the recent fuel price hikes have triggered a cycle of inflation affecting not only transportation but also food, construction materials, and every sector of daily consumption. The statement notes that middle and lower-class citizens are the hardest hit amidst declining incomes and rising expenses. GenZ 2.0 asserts that the government must intervene effectively in the market, considering the current economic crisis.

To control prices, GenZ 2.0 has presented several concrete demands to the government. It has called for transparency in the petroleum pricing mechanism, a review of taxes and customs duties on fuel to reduce costs, and the implementation of long-term policies to curb rising inflation.

Pressuring the government to implement immediate relief programs for the public, GenZ 2.0 has warned that the government must be responsible for the country's economic stability and the welfare of its citizens. Spokesperson Limbu clarified that if the government fails to make timely decisions in the public interest, it will lead to further complexities in the overall economic and social sectors.
