Nearly 50 activists of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) picketed the office of the IndianOil on Avanashi Road protesting against the hike in petrol prices. Petrol price was hiked by Rs 5 on Saturday night.

The DYFI activists led by Babu raised slogans flaying the oil corporations of resorting to unreasonable and unjustified hike in prices to make profits and also asked the oil corporations to cut down on advertisements and other over heads. They also wanted the Union Government to take over the powers to revise the price of petroleum and not to leave it at the discretion of the oil companies. Police removed the agitators.
