Jharkhand: Rs 25 per litre relief in price of fuel for two wheelers of the poor

Officials said that in the first state government’s decision of this kind to solve the problem of rising fuel prices, Jharkhand will provide ration card holders with two-wheelers with a subsidy of 25 rupees per liter of gasoline. The monthly allowance limit for each family may be 10 liters. They said that the method of implementing measures starting from Republic Day is still being worked out.

In Jharkhand, the current gasoline price is 98.52 rupees per liter and the diesel price is 91.56 rupees.

On Wednesday, when announcing a series of plans to commemorate the two years of the JMM-led coalition government, Chief Minister Hemant Soren said: “We know that gasoline and diesel prices have soared and affected the poor. The poor have motorcycles in their houses, but people cannot ride them. Because they don’t have the money to buy gasoline… this person cannot go to the market to sell his crops. We heard that people mix kerosene and gasoline to ride motorcycles. We will reduce the price of gasoline by 25 rupees per liter.”

Before Sauron announced the news, he and Governor Ramesh Bais laid the foundation for more than 1,500 plans worth 16,000 crore.

Later, a senior official told the Indian Express that those holding ration cards would receive a petrol subsidy of 10 liters per household for two-wheeled vehicles. The official said that the state government “may directly transfer money to the account.”

Jharkhand was the first state to adopt such innovative measures to provide relief to specific groups of people (middle class and lower-middle class) who bought gasoline for driving two-wheelers. As many as 23 states have reduced the value-added tax on fuel to reduce the price of gasoline and diesel. Among the states, the largest decline was in Karnataka (13.35 rupees per liter of gasoline), followed by Mizoram and Pondicherry with more than 12 rupees per liter of gasoline. In addition, although all states have chosen to give up income, Jharkhand has decided to provide subsidies and increase expenditures.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
