The tax-free pump, done in protest against the increasing prices of petrol and diesel, offered petrol for ₹44.52 a litre.

DCC president V.S. Joy presided over the function. KPCC general secretaries Aryadan Shoukath, Alipatta Jameela, E. Mohammed Kunhi, K.P. Abdul Majeed, Sakeer Pullara, and P.C.A. Noor spoke.
