PM Modi's 10 Appeals to the Public on Resource Conservation Amid Global Crises Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the public during a visit to Telangana, urging citizens to adopt measures to conserve resources amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising global energy prices. The appeals, framed as a call to national duty, focus on reducing dependency on imported fuels, promoting sustainable practices, and safeguarding India’s economic stability. The context for Modi’s message stems from ongoing conflicts in the region, including the Iran-US standoff and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which have driven global crude oil prices to unprecedented levels. While India’s petrol and diesel prices remain stable compared to other nations, Modi warned that further hikes are possible. He emphasized the need for citizens to act responsibly to mitigate the impact of these global disruptions. Modi’s 10 key appeals include: Prudent Use of Fuel: Citizens are urged to use petrol and diesel judiciously, prioritizing public transportation and carpooling to reduce consumption. Adopt Remote Work: Working from home and leveraging virtual meetings, a practice adopted during the pandemic, should be revived to minimize travel and fuel demand. Limit Non-Essential Travel: Travel abroad, including weddings and leisure trips, should be postponed for at least a year to conserve resources. Avoid Gold Purchases: Non-essential gold buying is discouraged, as it strains the foreign exchange reserves. Promote Rail Transport: Railways, particularly electric trains, are highlighted as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, reducing dependency on imported oil.#india #strait_of_hormuz #telangana #prime_minister_narendra_mod #iran_us_stanoff
