Slogans were raised during the protest, creating a charged atmosphere in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The corporators stated that the agitation was a symbolic protest against rising fuel prices, traffic-related issues and the policies of the civic administration. The unique demonstration remained the centre of discussion in the municipal premises for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pimpri : In a symbolic protest against the fuel-saving campaign launched by the ruling BJP at the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[56],"class_list":["post-2150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pimpri-chinchwad","tag-pcmc"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-150x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-300x185.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-768x475.jpg","large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-1024x633.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-1536x950.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-392x272.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-390x205.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-130x90.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-800x445.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-150x150.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-1400x600.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Pimpri : In a symbolic protest against the fuel-saving campaign launched by the ruling BJP at the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Pimpri Chinchwad"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":101,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":1,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148.jpg",1810,1119,false],"medium":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-300x185.jpg",300,185,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260515_123148-150x150.jpg",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-33\">Pimpri Chinchwad<\/a>","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
