Congress activists today protested against a hike in petrol prices and the inaction of the Union Government to control the same.
While some activists staged demonstrations at various filling stations in the region, others rode horse carts around the region to express their concerns over the increasing prices of petrol and diesel. The protestors held placards and raised slogans against the Centre.
Leaders said petrol prices had almost reached Rs 100 per litre and the hike had affected the budget of the common man.
“Petrol prices should come under the purview of GST and there should be a complete rollback in the price hike,” said protesters.
