Considering the recent gas price increase, the All Island Canteen Owners' Association (AICOA) is to increase the prices of lunch packet, fried rice, kottu and a cup of milk tea by Rs.10 from tomorrow,
AICOA Chairman Asela Sampath told the Daily Mirror that the price of plain tea remains at Rs.25.
"With the massive increase in the price of gas, the price of a lunch packet should be increased by Rs.30, but considering the precarious situation of the people, the AICOA has decided to increase the prices by Rs.10," he said.
With the massive escalation in the prices of all foodstuff, our industry is in danger of collapse and people will refrain from buying cooked food from shops and canteens, Sampath lamented.
The hoteliers are more humane than the government at this present situation, he said.
Therefore, we have decided to bare our loss while increasing the prices only by Rs.10 to provide nutritious food, Sampath added. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
