VIJAYAWADA: Spiralling prices of petrol and diesel have only added to the woes of motorists, especially truck operators who were already in neck-deep financial trouble due to the Covid lockdown. Petrol now costs Rs 90.70 per litre and diesel Rs 83.70 in Vijayawada as on Monday, according to a price notification from oil marketing companies.
Andhra Pradesh Lorry Owner’s Association general secretary YV Eswara Rao told TNIE the truck operators have protested against the rising fuel prices time and again, but their pleas fell on deaf ears.
