Amidst the Hormuz crisis and global tension, the Indian government has taken a big step to provide relief to the common people. According to Reuters information, the Indian government has relaxed the rules to make the supply of kerosene i.e. kerosene oil easier. Its objective is that in areas where there is shortage of gas or electricity, people can immediately get kerosene for cooking and lighting.
The government has clarified that some rules related to petroleum safety and licensing have been temporarily eased. With this, kerosene can be supplied as per the requirement in 21 states and union territories. This decision has been taken at a time when energy supply is being affected across the world due to the Iran war and there is a possibility of fuel shortage in many places.
Will this decision provide relief to people?
The government says that this step will directly benefit the common people. Especially in rural and remote areas where people are still dependent on kerosene. The government said that kerosene will be made available immediately when needed, so that no one has to face trouble for cooking or lighting. This decision is temporary, but will be continued until the situation becomes normal.
