Prices of petrol and diesel will increase from midnight (2nd) according to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation. A liter of 90 Octane Petrol will be increased by Rs.10 while a liter of Auto Diesel will be increased by Rs.3, a CPC official said.

The price of a litre of Kerosene will be increased by Rs. 10. The new price of 90 Octane Petrol is Rs. 125, Rs. 76 for Auto Diesel and Kerosene Rs. 61.

A global price hike was expected with the raising unrest in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) in the first few months of this year. (Daily Mirror online)

Where is the person who said, if we are increasing prices accoriding to the world price, why we should have a government. These are the jokers who are holding key positions in the government.
