Andhra Pradesh: High fuel prices push vehicles to T.N., Karnataka

With petrol and diesel prices reaching the highest-ever levels in Chittoor district on Tuesday, it led to a furore among a cross-section of people, particularly in the areas bordering Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

People of Kuppam, Ramakuppam, Gudupalle, and Shantipuram mandals in Kuppam Assembly Constituency, bordering the neighboring States, are finding their way to the petrol outlets in Kammasamudra, Kembapuram, and Bangarpet in Karnataka, and also to Vepanapalle, Chinnamattapalle, Pachhur and Vaniyambadi in Tamil Nadu to top up the tanks of their vehicles.

Compared to the Chittoor district, the price there varies by ₹10 to ₹11 for a litre of petrol and ₹6 to ₹7 for diesel.
