K Dhumal said that hike in petrol price by the centre government is an additional burden on common people and the consumer state like Himachal Pradesh will face sudden increase in the prices of essential commodities as the transportation of goods will be costlier. He said that the Centre had increased the prices of petrol, diesel and LPG for many times in the past also thereby putting people especially the poor in deep trouble. He said the centre should reconsider the hike of Rs 5 per litre so that the common people did not face hardship in daily life.
