Sir,
The rising prices of petroleum products can be checked to some extent if Governments both States and Central cut fuel expenses. The Ministers and bureaucrats have a big fleet of vehicles at their disposal. These vehicles most of the time are used by these functionaries for personal works and to impress the people. Whenever a Minister visits a place, a cavalcade of vehicles belonging to different departments follow him. Thereby incurring a great expenditure on fuel. The fuel so consumed can be saved if the concerned Minister directs the department to use a single mode of transport.
The brunt of fuel hike is to be borne by common man and not by the elite who usually do not pay from their pockets but public coffers.
Hope the Government embarks on saving fuel and not on price rise.
Yours etc….
