Rapid Read AI-generated image used for representation The West Bengal government has announced a major relaxation in diesel supply restrictions, allowing key sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, tea gardens, food supply and public services to purchase and transport diesel in containers without the earlier curbs.
The move comes after restrictions on diesel supply in containers reportedly disrupted the functioning of farmers, hospitals and emergency service providers across the state. The government said it intervened to ensure that essential services and daily life remained unaffected. As part of the decision, major oil companies have been directed to exempt these critical sectors from the fuel restriction norms.
