Reduce Diesel Prices
Price of Brent crude, the global oil price benchmark has fallen below $92 a barrel. It is reported that the OMCs are earning Rs. 1.90 on every litre of diesel as `over recovery’. While the government had directed OMCs to increase 50 paise per litre every month from January 2013, no reduction has been done in diesel price despite the fall in crude oil prices. Through this inaction, government is burdening the people in general and especially the farmers, small scale industries and the goods transport sector.
