Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reiterated his call for austerity measures amid the West Asia conflict, urging citizens to limit destination weddings abroad and reduce their consumption of edible oils. He suggested holding temporary online classes for students and advocated for reduced fuel consumption among the populace.

Addressing a gathering in Vadodara, Modi highlighted the impact of the ongoing conflict, noting that as the situation remains tense in a region crucial for India's oil imports, the country's citizens must restrict foreign travel and adopt work-from-home practices where feasible.
