Panchkula, June 11

The local unit of the Congress today staged a protest at a petrol pump in Sector 2 here against the rising fuel prices.

Raising slogans against Narendra Modi-led Central Government, former Deputy Chief Minister Chander Mohan, along with other party leaders, also rode a horse-cart as a mark of protest.

He said an LPG cylinder was priced at Rs400 and petrol was sold at Rs70 per litre in 2014, and their prices had been rising constantly since then.

Vijay Bansal, another Congress leader, urged the BJP-JJP government to provide relief to the people of the state by reducing VAT on petrol and diesel. Former Mayor Upinder Kaur Ahluwalia was among those who took part in the protest. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
