  • Rates have been increased across the country and vary from state to state depending on the incidence of local sales tax or VAT

    Petrol price on Wednesday was hiked by 55 paise per litre and diesel by 60 paise a litre, marking the 11th consecutive day of increase in rates that now totals to Rs 6.02 for petrol and Rs 6.4 for diesel.

    Petrol price in Delhi was hiked to Rs 77.28 per litre from Rs 76.73, while diesel rates were increased to Rs 75.79 a litre from Rs 75.19, according to a price notification of state oil marketing companies.

    Rates have been increased across the country and vary from state to state depending on the incidence of local sales tax or VAT.

    This is the 11th straight day of increase in rates since oil companies on June 7 restarted revising prices in line with costs, after ending an 82-day hiatus in rate revision.

    The freeze in rates was imposed in mid-March soon after the government hiked excise duty on petrol and diesel to shore up additional finances.

    Oil PSUs Indian Oil Corp (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) instead of passing on the excise duty hikes to customers adjusted them against the fall in the retail rates that was warranted because of fall in international oil prices.

    In 11 hikes, petrol price has gone up by Rs 6.02 per litre and diesel by Rs 6.4 a litre.

  • 中印衝突、インド軍２０人が死亡　中国側にも死傷者か

    【シンガポール＝森浩】インド北部カシミール地方の係争地で中国軍とインド軍が衝突した問題で、インド陸軍は１６日夜、インド側の死者が２０人に達したと発表した。インドメディアは、中国側の死傷者も数十人に上ると報じた。

    　インド陸軍によると、衝突は１５日夜に発生し、数時間続いたという。現地はヒマラヤ山脈の一角の高地で、新たに死亡が確認された１７人は衝突で重傷を負った後、氷点下の気温にさらされたことで死に至った。双方が棒や石によって攻撃し合い、銃器は使用されなかったという。

    　インド外務省は１６日夜の声明で、５月５日から始まった両軍の対峙（たいじ）の解消に向けた話し合いが行われていたが、「中国側が一方的に現状を変えようとした結果、激しい衝突が起こった」と非難した。中国は、インド側が２度にわたり越境してきたため衝突が発生したと説明している。

  • Bloodiest India-China clash in 40 years leaves 20 jawans dead, Chinese casualties in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley

    Twenty Indian Army personnel including a colonel were killed in a fierce clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on Monday night, the biggest military confrontation in over five decades that has significantly escalated the already volatile border standoff in the region.

    The Army initially said on Tuesday that an officer and two soldiers were killed. But in a late evening statement, it revised the figure to 20 saying 17 others who “were critically injured in the line of duty and exposed to sub-zero temperatures at the standoff location succumbed to their injuries.”

    Government sources said the Chinese side too suffered “proportionate casualties” but chose not to speculate on the number. An ANI source has speculated that at least 43 Chinese soldiers have been seriously injured or killed in the clash.

    INDIA LOSES 20 SOLDIERS

    Indian Army confirmed that 20 men have died in the clash at Galwan Valley, however, identities of only 3 personnel have been made public till now.

    Initially claiming that three men had died in the clash, later the Army said, “17 Indian troops who were critically injured in the line of duty at the standoff location and exposed to sub-zero temperatures in the high altitude terrain have succumbed to their injuries, taking the total that were killed in action to 20.”

    The officer killed in the clash was identified as Colonel Santosh Babu, Commanding Officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment, and a native of Telangana.

    The other soldiers identified were Havaldar K Palani and Sepoy Kundan Ojha from Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand respectively.
