"The Centre should consider rollback in the diesel price and should not put a cap on subsidised LPG especially given the high price of essential goods thereby affecting the common man," NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said.

The Central government today hiked diesel prices by a steep Rs. 5.62 per litre and restricted the supply of subsidised cooking gas to six cylinders per household.
