Erode
By Our Staff Reporter,
ERODE, NOV. 9. The AIADMK members staged a demonstration here today in protest against the hike in the prices of diesel, petrol and LPG gas cylinders by the Union Government. As many as 500 men and women demonstrated in front of the Head Post Office disrupting the traffic on the busy Gandhji Road for nearly two hours. The party's Headquarters Secretary and former Transport Minister, K. A. Sengottiyaan, led the demo.
