Despite building its motorcycles locally, Atlas Honda keeps raising prices whenever foreign exchange rates change. Due to this, bikes that were once thought to be accessible to the general public are now out of reach.
The already struggling masses, who also bear the brunt of rising car prices, have been hard-hit by this second price increase. The government must pay attention to this problem and take action to help the average person, who is already dealing with rising inflation and other economic difficulties.
