Pune Youth Congress Holds 'Shradh' Protest Over E20 Fuel Concerns

Pune Youth Congress Holds 'Shradh' Protest Over E20 Fuel Concerns

Some young people from a group called the Pune Youth Congress are worried about a type of fuel called E20.

They think this fuel could cause problems for cars and scooters.

It might make parts wear out faster, and repairs could cost more money.

They held a special protest in the city of Pune to show their concern.

During the protest, they acted out a pretend funeral for vehicle spare parts.

That kind of ceremony is called 'Shradh'.

They wanted to show that spare parts like rubber seals could be in danger.

The group wants the government to think about ordinary people who own older vehicles.

They hope the government will talk to car experts before making any final decisions.

Their main message is that fuel should not only be judged by how it helps the environment, but also by how it affects people's wallets.
