The alarming rate of fuel price hike has left many Indians shocked as petrol and diesel rates crossed Rs 80 and Rs 70 respectively. The escalating petrol prices touched fresh record levels in Delhi and Mumbai on Tuesday (May 22), at Rs 76.87 and Rs 84.70 per litre respectively, up from Rs Rs 76.57 and Rs 84.40 on Monday. With this increment, petrol has touched an all-time-high, breaking the previous record of Rs 76.06 per litre in New Delhi on September 14, 2013 — almost five years back!
Across the four metropolitan cities, prices rose around 30 paise on Tuesday. Similarly, in Kolkata, the price was at a near-five-year high of Rs 79.53, up 29 paise from Monday. In Chennai, the fuel cost rose by 32 paise from Monday’s price of Rs 79.47 per litre.
The skyrocketing fuel prices have left many citizens fuming, and many took to social media to vent their anger as well as to find out why the prices have to be raised so often. While opposition parties have lambasted the Government for their policies, Netizens are growing impatient with the regular hike. Some tried to deal with the stress with a dash of sarcasm and humour.
