Speaking to ANI, an auto driver said that most of their income is spent on refueling the vehicle.
"The increase in CNG prices is affecting our lives. Our income is as much as the price of fuel. We are utilising the money to refuel the vehicle. Customers are not ready to pay extra. What are we going to eat and earn? It is affecting our lives such that we have to think of if we'll be able to afford a vegetable for the day or not," he said.
He also added that with an increase in CNG prices, there are not a lot of customers now.
"Customers have started travelling in buses. Only 2 per cent of passengers are there. There is no profit for us," the auto driver said.
