Guwahati: The banned outfit ULFA on Thursday
asked fuel dealers of Assam to reduce their prices by Rs 5
within the next three months.
ULFA's central publicity committee member, Anu
Buragohain, threatened to launch a "mass protest" if the fuel
prices are not reduced.
"The Central government is hiking the fuel product
available in the state which has affected the common people,"
a statement issued by him said.
The oil found in the state is refined outside and sold
at a higher price in the state itself which is amounting to
'injustice', Buragohain said.
