West Bengal ruling's Trinamool Congress on Wednesday said it would organise protests in the city on Friday against sharp hike in fuel prices across the countryy.
Similar protests would be held in all the Bengal districts on Saturday and Sunday, Trinamool Secretary General Partha Chatterjee said.
"The prices of petrol and diesel have touched an all time high and this steep hike in price is massively impacting the common people. The protest would be organised by Trinamool Youth Congress", he said.
The Centre did not slash the prices of petrol and diesel even when the prices were low in the international market, said Chatterjee, who is also the state Education Minister.
