No proposal for cess on petrol, diesel: CM

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today said that his government was committed to making Himachal a ‘green state’ by March 2026 but there was no proposal to impose a cess on petrol or diesel.

He said that the government was working on a mission mode to accomplish the target of making Himachal the first green state of the country. “It will take my government around four years to bring the cash-strapped economy back on track and several initiatives are being taken to generate the much-needed resources,” he added.
