Fuel Price Hike Triggers Public Anger in Guwahati

The latest increase in petrol and diesel prices has triggered widespread frustration among residents of Guwahati, with many blaming the government for rising inflation and increasing living costs.

Fuel prices rose by up to 91 paise per litre on Saturday, marking the third hike in less than 10 days. Residents said the repeated increases are affecting transport fares, vegetable prices and other essential commodities.

Auto drivers, commuters and small business owners expressed concern over rising expenses and declining earnings, while many citizens accused authorities of failing to control market prices and inflation.
