Congress-ruled Punjab has given a hefty additional discount on petrol and diesel days after the Centre's move to cut fuel prices on the eve of Diwali. Petrol prices will be slashed by another Rs 10 and diesel by Rs 5 in Punjab. This "hasn't happened in 70 years," said Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi. Petrol in Punjab will now cost Rs 96.16 per litre and diesel Rs 84.80 a litre -- but Chandigarh will still be cheaper with petrol at Rs 94.23 and diesel at Rs 80.
