Local people and politicians cutting across party lines laid a siege to Palani Chettipatty town panchayat office near here condemning cent per cent hike in all taxes, including house, property and water tax here on Tuesday.
They congregated before the office demanding immediate withdrawal of revision of taxes as it would burden the common man.
Later, they handed over petitions to the panchayat officials.
If the town panchayat administration failed to withdraw the revision of taxes, they would intensify their agitation, said residents and politicians.
