GORAKHPUR, March 8 -- Hundreds of Samajwadi Party (SP) workers on Friday staged a protest on the Deoria-Barhaj road in Deoria against the recent hike in LPG cylinder prices.

The party workers staged the demonstration with cylinders to symbolically highlight the issue and demanded that the government provide relief to consumers by reducing LPG prices. They also warned that the agitation would be intensified if the government fails to address the issue....
