NSUI protests outside Petroleum Ministry over fuel price hike

Holding placards and banners, the student activists of National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) staged a demonstration outside the Petroleum Ministry on Thursday against the government over the steep hike in fuel prices.

According to police, around 20 protestors were detained during the protest outside the parliament and were taken to the police station in two buses. “This government is continuously increasing the prices. The prices of petrol and diesel have been increasing continuously for the last several days. It is very unfortunate that due to the corona pandemic, the country’s economy is at a standstill but the government is constantly putting the burden of inflation on the pockets of people.
