New Delhi: Government today (Nov 24, 2004) rolled back its decision to hike LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) price by Rs 5 every month.

"It has been decided by Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs that the previous decision to raise LPG price by Rs 5 every month stands rescinded," Petroleum Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar told reporters.

The decision comes hours after the Left parties asked the Government to reduce price of LPG at the fourth UPA (United Progressive Alliance) Government-Left Coordination Committee meeting.
