To be sure, there’s no shortage of fuel, but an artificial one created by companies seeking to maximise profit or reduce losses.
State run companies are incurring ₹19.7/ltr & ₹31.9/ltr revenue losses on petrol and diesel respectively.

Hiccups in supply trigger fuel shortage across some states

Admin's opinion - Instead of restoring those 100s of historically significant, impressive massive forts built by the Marathas and making them easily accessible with proper trekking paths, they are building a cheap copy of Mount Rushmore.
We shouldn't cut a few trees in Aarey for a metro carshed that will benefit millions and actually reduce overall pollution.
Instead, let's freaking carve a few huge faces on the side of a mountain in the ecologically sensitive western Ghats. That will save the environment!

BREAKING - WTO agrees on all of India's demands on food security, balanced fisheries subsidies, control on illegal and deep sea fishing, WTO reform agenda and and Covid vaccine patent waiver.
“India put forth aggressive draft texts in all pillars of WTO negotiations rather than being reactive, as in the past. India brought the members together to a unanimous agreement on fisheries, health, the future of WTO reforms, digital technology, food, and environment. The voice of the poor and the vulnerable got strengthened globally by India’s principled stand at the WTO”
