Petrol @ Rs. 65 /07- Punjab @ Rs.58 /65 Haryana - Demand Gathers in Punjab For Same Rate as Haryana

Demand among petrol consumers in Punjab ( including Jalandhar ) has started gathering momentum that Punjab 's petrol rate should be same as that of Haryana.

Petrol in both states is sourced from the same refineries.

Thousand of Petrol Pumps near border with Haryana are on the verge of closure because of artificially high rate of petrol in Punjab.

( Many voters in Punjab are saying that in the forthcoming Vidhan Sabha elections in Punjab they would vote for those who bring down the petrol rates to the rates in Haryana

Urban Punjabis Want Immediate Relief on Electricity and Petrol

Citizens of Jalandhar are discussing the sops being offered to lure urban  votes on the eve of Punjab Assembly elections.

Urban Punjabis Want

ELECTRICITY

Immediate abolition of " Commercial category " connection category . This they find both exploitative as well as humiliating. Even Urban business men have a right to earn their livelihoods.

End of cross subsidies

End and Electricity Tax and Octroi ( Choongi ) on Electricity

PETROL

The price of petrol should be reduced to the price prevailing in the neighboring state of Haryana ( where it is nearly Rs. 7 cheaper per litre ) . Petrol in both states is sourced from same set of refineries.

Exemption of small cars ( like Maruti 800 and Nano ) from Toll Taxes on Toll Plazas.
