Petrol Price Rollback


The Rs 2 per litre rollback in petrol price on Saturday brought some cheer to citizens. Many said the government must initiate more steps to control the price so that common people would not face the heat.
Citizens were displeased when the Union government on May 23 announced a rise of Rs 7.50 in the price of petrol. The hike, which was the steepest in recent years, had increased monthly spending on fuel. Besides citizens, local units of all major political parties had conducted protests in the city on Thursday to condemn the increase in fuel price.
                                That’s the joke going around on social network sites. As the rupee continues to see-saw, this hike is certain to burn a hole in the Aam Aadmis pocket.
