REACTION: Sky High Petrol Prices In Bhubaneswar & Other Odisha Cities Hits Common Man Hard

Petrol and diesel prices continue to post a steep rise in Odisha, leaving consumers shocked and worried. Needless to say, the common man’s monthly budget has been hit hard by the unabated rise in fuel prices.

As on today, petrol price in Malkangiri breached Rs 115/L, which is maximum in the state. Similarly, diesel price has touched Rs 111/L in Malkangiri. Petrol and diesel prices in capital city Bhubaneswar stood at Rs 109.71/L and Rs 106/L, respectively.

On the other hand, petrol price is Rs 113 in Jeypore, Rs 110 in Rourkela and Rs 109.54 in Balasore.

As per experts, in the month of October, the prices of both petrol and diesel were hiked for as many as 20 times, which has led to such inflation.
