The long debated issue of a hike in fuel prices has come to an end. The government has finally announced the inevitable hike on Wednesday. Petrol prices have been hiked by 5 Rs while diesel will be dearer by 3 Rs. LPG will also cost Rs 50 more per cylinder. However, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs, which approved the price hike, has not announced a hike in kerosene prices.
