Gas and diesel prices

It is interesting to note that the govt. again and again publicises that food price is under control. But what about gas? There is anomaly between diesel and gas price. Though I am not an expert, but after a few months of my writing to the communications minister about gas-diesel price anomaly, now it is also endorsed by the CNG Association. They say gas price is higher than diesel. As a result, owners of transport are less interested in converting their engines to gas. The govt. in the past encouraged conversion to CNG. But the situation is changing. As a result valuable foreign exchange will be invested in importing fuel. The government should give serious thought to use of gas in the transport sector. In the mean time LPG gas price has been reduced. I congratulate the govt. for this right step. It has been reported that the govt. is contemplating further lowering of the prices of diesel. Such one-sided reduction of diesel price will not be productive. The govt. must rethink about gas price in the interest of saving foreign exchange.
