JAMMU, May 21: Apni Party District Committee here today staged a protest demonstration against increasing prices of essential commodities which has put unbearable burden on the pockets of common masses.
The protest was led by Apni Party district president Jammu Urban, Dr. Rohit Gupta and the protesters raised slogans against price hike of essential commodities including LPG, vegetables etc.
