Congress activists staged protests here on Tuesday over recent hike in fuel prices.
They raised banners and broke roadside barricades.
Police had to form a human chain to stop the protesting mob.
Petrol and diesel prices were hiked on Monday by Rs 1.69 and Rs. 0.50 per litre respectively by the Narendra Modi led BJP Government at the Centre, while onion prices have continued to see a surge upwards. To add to that the Centre came in for a scathing attack from the opposition over hiking railway fares, but had to partially roll back later on.
