Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has called on residents to increase their use of public transport and carpool services to lessen their dependence on private vehicles. This appeal comes in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent message urging citizens to conserve fuel amidst global energy uncertainties resulting from the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Gupta emphasized the importance of acting responsibly and conserving fuel during these challenging times. Government officials have reassured the public that there is currently no shortage of petrol, diesel, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in India. The initiative seeks to promote responsible energy consumption as India faces rising oil prices and seeks to alleviate pressure on its foreign exchange reserves due to significant crude oil imports. As the situation evolves, the government's focus remains on encouraging sustainable practices among citizens.
