The latest figures showed an increase of 29,174 people in the country compared to the figures of September when the population was 2,187,326.

The October figure shows an increase of 191,793 (9.5% growth) people in the country compared to the figures of the corresponding period last year when the population was 2,024,707.

And yet the public transportation is a big problem here. Not everyone can afford for a taxi/carlift on their daily travel, karwa must increase their units(bus) and make the trip intervals into 10 minutes in all their routes.
