PETROLEUM PRICES-DECONTROL

RECENTLY Kiriti Parekh Committee had recommended decontrol PETROLEUM PRICES. I OPINE THIS IS PURELY ON FINANCIALS WITHOUT CONSIDERING SOCIAL AND EVEN ECONOMIC RAMIFICATIONS. POOR AND OTHER LOW END USERS CANNOT PAY HIGH for cooking gas! HIGH COST of transport fuel MAY INCREASE COST OF TRANSPORTATION OF PEOPLE AS WELL AS GOODS AFFECTING ECONOMY. THE COMMITTEE SHOULD HAVE SEEN PRICE CONTROL AS A PERMANENT STIMULI TO THE ECONOMY.

THE GOVERNMENT WHILE INCENTIVISING AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY SHOULD DO SO MORE FOR EXPORTS and COMMERCIAL VEHCILES WHICH are USED FOR PRODUCTIVE PURPOSES AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT INSTEAD OF ENCOURAGING RAMPANT GROWTH OF PERSONAL VEHICLES. CO ORDINATED APPROACH AMONG MINISTRIES NEEDED-

-THE BEST WAY IS TO GO FOR ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES IN BIG WAY AS WE HAVE PLENTY OF SOLAR ENERGY WASTED!-

FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE OF IMMEDIATE SOLUTION ON UNDER RECOVERIES, PRICE DECONTROL SELECTIVELY FOR HIGH END USERS EXEMPTING ALL LOW END USERS MAY BE CONSIDERED THROUGH ISSUE OF DISCOUNT COUPONS.
