Big Step Towards Fuel Conservation, PM Modi Cuts Official Convoy by Half
The impact of the ongoing global conflicts is now being seen in India’s administration as well. In view of the current global situation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a major step to promote fuel conservation and austerity. The Prime Minister has reduced the number of vehicles in his official convoy by 50 percent. Along with this, he has directed the Special Protection Group (SPG) to increase the use of electric vehicles in the Prime Minister’s convoy. The important aspect of this move is that no new vehicles will be purchased, and the focus will remain on better utilization of existing resources. According to sources, the SPG has already started implementing these changes while strictly following mandatory security protocols under the ‘Blue Book.’ Officials are ensuring that there is no compromise in security arrangements. Prime Minister Modi has consistently encouraged people to conserve energy and use national resources responsibly. Recently, he appealed to citizens and companies to reduce unnecessary travel, minimize fuel consumption, encourage work-from-home culture, and conduct school and college classes virtually wherever possible. The impact of the Prime Minister’s initiative is now becoming visible across different states in India. Following the appeal, Mohan Yadav announced major fuel-saving measures in Madhya Pradesh. He stated that the number of vehicles in official convoys would be reduced and rally culture during official tours would be discouraged. He also urged people to make greater use of public transport. In addition, Mohan Yadav has decided to ban ministerial convoys in the state. Meanwhile, Yogi Adityanath has also taken significant steps after PM Modi’s appeal. He directed a 50 percent reduction in vehicles used in all government convoys across the state and encouraged the maximum use of virtual meetings. The government’s move is being seen as an important initiative towards simplicity, environmental protection, and energy conservation. It is expected not only to save fuel but also to send a strong message about the responsible use of national resources.
