Price of crude oil fell by a whopping 30 pc in global market, highest since 1991, following Saudi Arabia- Russia oil price war.


Taking to social media to advise the Centre to reduce fuel price, Stalin tweeted on his official Twitter handle, “As global crude oil prices plunge, Union & state govts must act swiftly to pass on the benefits to Indian consumers.
