Petrol at ₹300/L, diesel at ₹150/L in Tripura
Petrol and diesel prices in Tripura on Friday soared to ₹300/L and ₹150/L respectively as the NH-8 that links the state with Assam has been in bad shape for the past couple of months. The continuous rainfall has further stalled its repair work, affecting the supply of essential items including fuel. Agitators carried out massive protests against the price rise.
