Condemning the continued hike of fuel prices, soaring prices of essential commodities and permission to hike power tariff amid a pandemic, members of Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) staged a protest and burnt an effigy in Dharwad on Monday. Staging the protest in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad, the protestors condemned in strong terms the Union and State governments’ apathy towards the plight of the common man who was already under a lot of burden due to the COVID-19-induced lockdown. The protestors raised slogans against the Union and State governments for what they said failure to check the soaring prices of essential commodities and fuel and burnt “soaring prices” in an effigy to register their protest.More Related News
