Two days ago, I mentioned about the danger of the petrol price being hiked. Yesterday the oil companies have inreased it as mentioned. Rs. 1.80 has been increased for a litre of petrol. In Delhi the price is now Rs. 68.84, Kolkata Rs. 73.15, Mumbai Rs. 73.81 and Chennai Rs. 72.73
This is the 13th price hike since the petrol was decontrolled in June 2010. 13 hikes in 15 months. And the government is sitting silent or rather happy, since every time thre is an increase, the Central Government get more through taxes etc. How cruel! Benefitting out of the miseries of the people!
