Initiatives to tackle oil crisis (Letter)
I fully endorse the views in the editorial, "Tax luxury'. Hiking the excise duty on big cars, multiutility vehicles and sports cars was overdue. Several other initiatives are required to tide over the oil crisis. Petroleum companies can absorb the oil shock by tightening their belts. There is no justification for public sector units like the HPCL and the BPCL to squander away lakhs on advertisements.
