China defends new map; urges India not to ‘over-interpret’ it

China defended its move to release a new ‘standard map’ for 2023 showing Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin as part of its territory, saying that it is a ‘routine practice’ in accordance with its law and urged India to ‘stay objective and calm’ and refrain from ‘over-interpreting’ the issue. India on Tuesday lodged a strong protest with China over its so-called ‘standard map’ laying claim over Arunachal Pradesh and the Aksai Chin, and asserted that such steps only complicate the resolution of the boundary question. The External Affairs Ministry also rejected these claims as having ‘no basis’.

The government had previously estimated that the economy expanded at a 2.4% annual rate last quarter.
Wednesday’s report on the nation’s gross domestic product — the total output of goods and services — showed that growth last quarter was driven by upticks in consumer spending and business investment.

Check the statements of Hardeep Puri, Petroleum Minister on the current Rs 200 price cut of cylinders here:

Source- Et Now

The price of crude oil is determined by global circumstances. If the cost of insurance, production and other things are added, then it is hard to control the prices. Thus, Sometimes Govt takes a hit
Not concerned about crude prices being $85 per barrel
If you are to insulate the EWS, the government and OMC have to work together. OMCs are not collapsing. There are better quarters but if PM decides the cylinder price has to come down for Onam and Raksha Bandhan, then it is welcomed by all
In 2014, average person paid more than what they were paying for many services such as ration
Not concerned about current global crude prices
OMCs have been rewarding shareholders handsomely
Govt reduced excise duty earlier to lower the impact of higher crude prices
We have diversified our crude oil sources. Sometimes, Russia is at the top, sometimes Iran. Thus, we are not relying on just one source.

Not concerned about crude prices at $85 per barrel
