"Rollback of the price hike should be considered immediately," the WBPDA President Tushar Sen said here.

Sen said that he was going to Mumbai at the head of a delegation to attend a meeting with oil companies there on Monday to discuss their charter of demands.

"Despite hike in oil prices petroleum dealers are not getting any increase in their commissions. Several irregularities in the dealings of oil companies will also be discussed," he said.

Sen also threatened to stop placing indents with oil companies if the demands were not met.

"If the meeting with oil companies fail to yield any result on Monday, we shall decide the next course of action on our return with a seven-day notice to Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum and Hindusthan Petroleum," Sen said.
