Letters Petrol price hike
The current rise in petrol prices will automatically lead to an increase in allied petroleum products. The decision to raise petrol prices, according to the government, was because it was not able to afford petrol in the international market, with prices having hit all-time highs. However, the government could have tackled the problem by cutting down on its expenses. Fortunately, the present government has introduced the much-need value added tax (VAT). This brings to mind the Prime Minister's recent appraisal of his government's progress on completion of one year in office. The progress made of various fronts was presented by different leaders. However, the assessment would have been more effective with suggestions taken from the public as well. Hitesh Jhangiani
