On Wednesday, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren said that the state government will give a concession on petrol and diesel prices, but the concession will be given only for two-wheelers. The notice read that the changes will be implemented from January 26 next year.
In a notice posted on the official Twitter handle of the Jharkhand Chief Minister’s office, Soren said, “Prices of petrol and diesel are touching the sky today. And this is affecting poor and middle-class families. Despite having a motorcycle at home, a poor man can’t ride it because he has no money for petrol. He is not able to take is produce to the marketplace to sell it.”
“So it has been decided that if such ration card holders fill petrol in their motorcycle or scooter, we will transfer Rs.25 per litre subsidy to their bank accounts. A family can get this subsidy for 10 litres of petrol every month,” he added.
