The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has announced measures to limit the number of vehicles used for official purposes in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal for energy conservation amid global fuel price increases and energy supply uncertainties. Gupta stated that all cabinet ministers, MLAs, and government officials will minimize vehicle usage and prioritize carpooling and public transport. The initiative aims to transform energy conservation into a 'people's movement' and is part of a broader effort by BJP-led states to encourage responsible consumption. Gupta urged Delhi residents to utilize the Metro, buses, and shared transport options, reinforcing the connection between energy conservation and national interest. Uttarakhand's Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami echoed these sentiments, calling for energy conservation and support for local products, aligning with Modi's vision of an 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India).
