💨 Abstract

Commercial vehicle owners in Mizoram have announced an indefinite strike starting October 14 to protest against the recent hike in fuel prices. The Mizoram Commercial Vehicle Union (MCVU) has repeatedly asked the state government to reduce petrol and diesel prices, but their demands have been ignored. The government increased the prices by Rs 4 per litre each on September 1, and the union alleges that this was done to generate additional revenue.
