During a recent address in Secunderabad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the need for a revival of work-from-home practices and urged citizens to postpone non-essential foreign travel for at least a year. This call comes in light of the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which has raised concerns over global energy supplies and fuel prices. Modi stated that India must collectively address the economic fallout of the crisis by reducing dependence on imported fuel and conserving foreign exchange. He encouraged public participation in this effort, suggesting that citizens should prioritize domestic tourism and limit discretionary spending on gold. Modi also advocated for increased use of public transport and electric vehicles to cut fuel consumption. He highlighted the government's ongoing investments in energy infrastructure, including solar power capacity expansion and the development of cleaner mobility options. Key infrastructure projects worth approximately ₹9,400 crore (roughly $1.13 billion USD) were inaugurated in Telangana, including improvements in road, railway, and petroleum sectors.
