Congress workers in Odisha today have called for a 6-hr statewide bandh protesting against the surge in fuel prices. They have also decided to stage ‘rail roko’ agitation at the different parts of the state.
Fuel prices across the nation have hit an all-time high as they were hiked for the seventh consecutive day today. Petrol and diesel prices stand at ₹89.69 per litre and ₹86.47 per litre respectively in Bhubaneswar today.
This relentless hike in fuel prices has been widely criticised by all opposition parties, including the Congress party, that has demanded an immediate cut in taxes to ease the burden on the common man.
