Coimbatore: Various parties including the Congress have been engaged in a series of protests condemning the continuing rise in petrol and diesel prices. As part of this, a bicycle rally was held in Pollachi on behalf of the Coimbatore South District Congress Committee.
Led by the District Chief Bhagvathy, the protesters marched from the Gandhi statue signal area chanting slogans that condemned the Central Government. They protested while riding on bicycles on main roads, including Market Road and Raja Mill Road, signalling that vehicles could not run on petrol and diesel anymore due the exorbitant hike in prices.
A protest was held at Thiruvalluvar Stadium to condemn the increase in fuel prices. 'Due to this increase, the poor and common man has been greatly affected. Fuel prices have gone up many times over. There will be a series of protests on behalf of the Congress party if the Central Government does not take immediate action to curb this rise in petrol and diesel prices,' warned the protesters.
