Govt working on reducing people’s woes: Prabhu on fuel prices

Former Union minister Suresh Prabhu on Friday said the Central government is taking all efforts to reduce the problems faced by the common man due to the rising fuel prices.

He also suggested that the Centre and state governments can come together to find a way to reduce taxes on fuel.

Prabhu was addressing a press conference in Nagpur.

Replying to a query on the rising fuel prices, he said that the petroleum prices are rising continuously as 70 per cent of our fuel needs are dependent on the import of oil.
