JAMMU, Mar 27: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his decision to insulate households from supply disruptions triggered by the West Asia crisis.
“Prioritizing citizen welfare, Modi has taken historic decision to insulate households from supply disruptions triggered by West Asia crisis. The measures reflect his commitment to protect the standard of living for ordinary Indians,” the Lt Governor said in a post on X.
He said the central excise duty was slashed by Rs 10 per litre on both petrol and diesel, shielding consumers from escalating costs.
“Export duties strategically levied at Rs 21.5 per litre on diesel and Rs 29.5 on aviation turbine fuel, prioritizing ample domestic supply. My deepest gratitude to Modi for this visionary intervention, which ensures affordability, restrains price escalation, and prioritizes India’s interests above all,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
Sinha said while global markets are in turmoil, the Indian citizens remain shielded and secure. (Agencies)
