Growing concerns over high taxi fares in country: Commuters call for solutions

Commuters across the country are voicing growing concerns over exorbitant taxi fares, with complaints about inconsistent pricing and lack of enforcement of official rates becoming increasingly frequent. Once an occasional issue, the problem has become more pronounced, particularly on local routes where passengers are often unaware of the correct fares. While some passengers acknowledge the financial difficulties faced by taxi drivers, the absence of clear regulations and widespread awareness of fare rules has led to calls for solutions that ensure fairness for both passengers and drivers.

My friend donated ₹ 5000 to PM Relief Fund.
On the other hand, I bought two bottles whisky worth ₹ 5000/-.

The question is who contributed more to the growth of our country ?

01. On the ₹ 5000 donated, he got a 30% tax rebate. Therefore, he actually landed up earning back ₹ 1500/-. In other words, by donating ₹ 5000 he made a net contribution of just ₹ 3500/- to the country.

02. On Alcohol, the total taxes (excise and GST) added up to approximately 72% of the MRP. So when I paid ₹ 5000,/-, ₹ 3600/- went to the state exchequer... Against ₹ 3500 from friend
..and 48 pegs of pleasure from two bottles 750 ml whisky bottle 🍷🍷. And the tandoori chicken , peanuts, soda and other bites consumed worth ₹ 5000 along with whisky contributed about ₹ 1000 more to government. That makes it 4600 vs 3500.

Therefore, not only did I contribute more, I created jobs at the Distillery, their suppliers of labels, bottles, caps, machinery , Poultry farms , Snack companies, jobs at the Marketing Company, jobs at the Wine Shop , Retail shops selling chicken, snacks and moreover I was in high spirits doing so,
... while the friend doesn't even know where his money went !!

Think of it...
Next time, Buy a Bottle of Whisky ‘you’ serve your Nation !!!

Be a responsible citizen!! Have a lovely day and also be in high spirits !!!🥃🥂
