The protests would start from North 24 Parganas tomorrow, CITU state president and CPI(M) leader Shyamal Chakraborty, said.

"The petrol price hike will hit hard two-wheeler owners mostly belonging to the middle class, who will take part in the demonstrations," Chakraborty said.

"The UPA government has ignored Parliament and the decision was announced a day after the session ended so that the government did not have to face criticism in the House," he said.
