Rajasthan Champions Fuel Conservation Amid Rising Concerns

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma announced guidelines to conserve petrol and diesel, aligning with PM Modi's national resource management appeal. The state aims to limit vehicle use by officials to reduce fuel consumption amid growing energy concerns due to West Asian tensions.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma announced on Wednesday that the state government has launched new guidelines focused on petrol and diesel conservation, following a national call by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to manage resources more effectively.

Addressing the press, Sharma highlighted that all state officials and public representatives would curtail the unnecessary use of vehicles.
