Ludhiana February 24 Members of the Youth Akali Dal today staged a protest against hike in fuel prices in a unique manner. Gurdeep Singh Gosha president YAD Ludhiana and party workers distributed the small containers filled with petrol to highlight the issue. Gosha said “As the fuel prices have been increased it seems that petrol will be available in small containers. Apart from distributing containers of petrol we also made the people aware about the taxes collected by Centre and state governments. The petrol price is near to Rs100 per litre because the center and state governments are collecting around seventy per cent tax on fuel prices.” He said the central government has added burden on people with demonetisation GST and high fuel prices. “The government should bring the fuel prices under GST to provide relief to people” he said. In other states the petrol prices are below Rs90 but the taxes by Punjab government is too high and the petrol prices are above Rs92 in the state he added. — TNS
