Assam Proposes Green Cess

The Assam government has taken a significant step towards promoting clean energy in the state. A 'green cess' is proposed to be levied on polluting sectors, which will help in reducing pollution and promoting eco-friendly practices. Additionally, the state has announced a cut in Value Added Tax (VAT) on piped gas, making it a more viable option for consumers. This move is expected to boost the use of clean energy in the state. The government's initiative is a welcome step towards creating a sustainable environment.
