New Delhi:  State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) hiked the price of subsidised cooking gas, or LPG, effective from Thursday by Rs 2.07 per cylinder, while that of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) was cut by 3.7 per cent.

OMCs revise rates of LPG and ATF on the first of every month, based on global oil prices and the foreign exchange rate. With this seventh increase in rates in six months, a subsidised 14.2 kg cylinder now costs Rs 432.71 in Delhi, as against Rs 430.64 earlier.

In a move to reduce its LPG subsidy outgo, the government, in July, had decided on small hikes of around Rs 2 per cylinder every month. The price of non-subsidised LPG, which consumers buy after exhausting their quota of 12 cylinders in a year, was also hiked on Thursday by Rs 54.5 to Rs 584.

Meanwhile, the price of ATF, or jet fuel, was cut by 3.7 per cent to Rs 48,379.63 per kl in Delhi. Prices vary at airports depending on local taxes. Amid the continuing fluctuation in global oil prices, petrol has been hiked by 13 paise a litre, while diesel price has been cut by 12 paise at Delhi, with corresponding changes in other states, also effective from Thursday.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
