Abohar, March 14

Youth Congress (YC) activists on Sunday organised a protest march against rising petrol, diesel and gas cylinder prices here.

YC block president Atinderpal Singh Tinna, while leading the march, said petrol had crossed Rs 100, diesel Rs 90 and the price of gas cylinders was hiked by Rs 250 in the past few months. Despite the open loot, the BJP government was blaming the Congress, he claimed.

The members said the rise in fuel prices had also made vegetables and other domestic items costlier due to hike in transportation charges. BJP workers who used to cry hoarse over minor rise in prices during the UPA government were unable to offer any explanation now, they said.

The protest started from Nai Sadak and ended at Shaheed Chowk after passing through the main roads. — OC

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).
