On Sunday, the Chandigarh Congress staged a protest in Sector 32 against the ongoing rise in fuel prices, which they argue is exacerbating inflation and affecting the daily lives of citizens. The demonstration saw participation from women workers and youth activists, who vocally expressed their grievances regarding the financial strain on various demographics, including the poor, middle class, laborers, employees, and homemakers. Chandigarh Congress president HS Lucky addressed the crowd, emphasizing that the soaring prices of essential items such as food, milk, and LPG are disrupting household budgets and making it increasingly difficult for families to manage their expenses. He pointed out that repeated hikes in petrol and diesel prices are contributing to a general increase in commodity prices, making people hesitant to shop. Pradesh Congress secretary Victor Sidhu reiterated the party's commitment to standing with the common people, criticizing economic policies that he claims are burdening the public. Balwinder Kaur, the block president, called attention to the plight of homemakers, urging the government to take immediate action to curb inflation and roll back fuel price increases. The protest underscores the Congress party's ongoing campaign against rising living costs.
