The Chief Minister said that on one hand, when the world is surrounded by so many problems, this decision has been taken in the interest of the citizens of the country, especially the poor. Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal also expressed gratitude to the Union Finance Minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman for the same.

Significantly, on Saturday, the Central Government has announced to reduce the excise duty on petrol and diesel. This will reduce the price of petrol by Rs 9.5 per litre and diesel by Rs 7 per litre. At the same time, a subsidy of Rs 200 per gas cylinder has also been announced to the beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. Reacting to this decision, Haryana Chief Minister, Sh.
