Today, the demands of the times are such that if we restart these systems, it will be in the national interest,\u201d Modi said.<\/p> <p><b>West Asia conflict raises concerns over oil supply<\/b><\/p> <p>The appeal comes as tensions in West Asia continue to unsettle global oil markets, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world\u2019s most important oil transit routes.<\/p> <p>India imports most of its crude oil requirements, meaning any prolonged disruption in the region could affect domestic fuel prices, transportation costs and inflation.<\/p> <p>Modi said reducing unnecessary commuting and fuel consumption could help lower India\u2019s import bill and conserve foreign exchange reserves.<\/p> <p><b>PM urges restraint in travel and spending<\/b><\/p> <p>The Prime Minister also encouraged people in metro-connected cities to use public transport more frequently and suggested carpooling where possible.<\/p> <p>He called for greater use of electric vehicles and urged citizens to temporarily avoid non-essential foreign travel, overseas weddings and luxury spending abroad.<\/p> <p>Modi also appealed to people not to purchase gold for a year, saying large-scale imports put additional pressure on the country\u2019s foreign exchange reserves.<\/p> <p><b>Farmers asked to reduce diesel use<\/b><\/p> <p>The Prime Minister\u2019s message extended to the agriculture sector as well, where he urged farmers to cut chemical fertiliser use and adopt solar-powered irrigation systems instead of diesel-run pumps.<\/p> <p>He said patriotism during a global crisis also meant making responsible choices in everyday life.<\/p> <p>\u201cPatriotism is not only about the willingness to sacrifice one\u2019s life on the border. In these times, it is about living responsibly and fulfilling our duties to the nation in our daily lives,\u201d he said.<\/p> <\/div> <p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Shaadi.com work from home, Anupam Mittal fuel saving, PM Modi work from home appeal, India oil price rise, petrol conservation India, remote work India, fuel consumption reduction, pandemic-era work practices#litres #petrol&#8230;039 #Anupam #Mittal #announces #WFH #employees1778689899<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaadi.com CEO Anupam Mittal\u00a0has announced a mandatory weekly work-from-home day for employees\u00a0after Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u00a0urged Indians to reduce fuel consumption amid rising global oil prices linked to the conflict in West Asia.
