On Thursday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis made a notable appearance at Vidhan Bhavan in South Mumbai by riding a motorcycle, symbolizing his support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to reduce fuel consumption amid the ongoing crisis in West Asia. Fadnavis traveled from his official residence, Varsha, accompanied by BJP leader Ashish Shelar. He emphasized the need for caution in light of rising energy prices and global supply disruptions, stating that the government is committed to saving resources and foreign exchange. In addition to this symbolic gesture, Fadnavis announced a series of cost-cutting measures, including halving the number of vehicles in ministerial convoys and canceling foreign tours for government officials. He also mandated that government aircraft be used only for urgent matters, requiring his personal approval for such requests. Other leaders, including union ministers and chief ministers from various states, have followed suit by reducing their convoy sizes. The Maharashtra government is also shifting to virtual meetings and promoting the use of electric vehicles as part of these conservation efforts.
