Some drivers in the capital complained about the high price of fuel and said that the price of one liter of oil in the capital has increased by ten afghani.
They want the officials of the Islamic Emirate to reduce the price of oil in the capital.
“The price of oil is rising and not going down. Afghans are facing a challenge in the winter season. We ask the authorities to pay serious attention to the price of oil,” said Omar, a driver.
“A few days ago, the fuel price was 63 afghani, now it is 72 afghanis, the problems of our drivers are many, if we raise the rate, no one will be able to pay,” said Mohammad Ehsan, a driver.
Meanwhile, the Chamber of Commerce and Investment considers the reason for the high price of fuel in the capital to be the blocking of the Salang highway and emphasizes that efforts are being made to reduce the price of fuel in the capital.
“We are trying to get serious attention in the sector. Salang will be opened soon,” said Mohammad Yonis Momand, deputy of the chamber.
“The high price of oil is because of the Salang highway,” said Abdul Majeed Niazi, head of the chamber in Faryab.
Earlier, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce said that in the last 11 months of this year, about 710,000 tons of oil worth 302 million dollars entered Afghanistan from Russia.
