This refers to the news report, ‘Petrol price up by Rs4 per litre, diesel by Rs3’ (April 1). This is a cruel joke of an utterly incompetent organisation that just weeks ago was responsible for an unprecedented petrol crisis, causing untold miseries to people.
The raise in POL prices has been made at a time when oil prices are falling in the international market. A couple of days ago the oil price was $51/barrel and has fallen to $48. So what could possibly be the reason for the rise in petrol prices? Ogra wants to make money to cover up for their losses, wastages and corruption.
