 Today's Highlighted Video Story:  Rise in India fuel prices hits Chennai's lower and middle classes hard. For Babu who works in sales, his monthly fuel expense has increased by Rs. 2,000 over the last six months as the price of petrol in Chennai has crossed 102 rupees a litre, up by ten rupees in just seven months. However, his salary has not kept pace. As he filled up the fuel tank of his motorcycle, he told NDTV, "Half of what I earn is spent on petrol. I have to manage all my household expenses with the rest". Babu works as a salesperson.
