In a recent address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated the need for citizens to return to 'Covid-era' habits, including work-from-home and carpooling, as a response to the economic challenges posed by ongoing global conflicts. He described the current situation as potentially one of the biggest crises of this decade, following the coronavirus pandemic. Modi emphasized that the economic aftereffects could lead to soaring import prices, disrupted supply chains, and pressure on foreign exchange reserves. Speaking at the inauguration of the Sardardham community center in Vadodara, Gujarat, he noted that the world is facing continuous instability, which is also affecting India. He called for collective responsibility and urged citizens to make small sacrifices, such as reducing fuel consumption and using public transport. Modi's appeal for public participation comes as he aims to minimize the impact of these adverse situations on ordinary citizens. He also encouraged both government and private institutions to prioritize remote working policies and online classes in schools until normalcy returns.
