They gave an update to the Collectorate and appealed to the government to decrease the costs and give some relaxation to the individuals.
“In the last three months of the lockdown, the people have been suffering due to frequent and unreasonable hikes in petrol and diesel prices as well as central excise duty on it. At a time when the country is facing unprecedented health and economic epidemic, the government is profiting from the hardships of the people by repeatedly raising petrol, diesel prices, and gas prices. We demand rollback of rising prices and give some relief to people in such difficult times,” said Prashant Patel.
