Odisha CM Thanks PM Modi for Timely Fuel Price Relief
In a significant relief measure amid global uncertainty, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a ₹10 per litre reduction in central excise duty on petrol and diesel for domestic consumption.
The move comes as part of the Centre’s proactive response to the ongoing West Asia crisis, aimed at shielding Indian households from rising fuel costs and ensuring market stability.
Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi welcomed the decision, expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his timely intervention.
Majhi described the measure as a demonstration of India’s preparedness and commitment to public welfare.
He further urged citizens to remain calm, avoid misinformation, and cooperate collectively to maintain stability during this period of global volatility.
The government’s approach reflects a careful balance between economic prudence and public welfare, reassuring citizens of continued support in times of crisis.
