Delhi's Green Drive: Ministers Champion Sustainable Practices Amid Rising Oil Prices

Delhi's government is embracing sustainable practices to reduce fuel consumption and spending, following Prime Minister Modi's call. The 'Mera Bharat, Mera Yogdaan' campaign promotes public transport and energy efficiency, with ministers setting examples by using electric vehicles and encouraging work-from-home. These initiatives aim for transformative national change.

In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal for reduced fuel consumption, Delhi ministers are adopting eco-friendly practices including the use of public transport and electric vehicles. Additionally, the Delhi Secretariat has reduced its lighting to conserve energy, officials report.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and other government officials are actively promoting the 'Mera Bharat, Mera Yogdaan' campaign, urging citizens to adopt sustainable practices such as public transport and telecommuting. This move comes amid escalating global oil prices and tensions in West Asia.

Ministers like Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Kapil Mishra are personally adopting these guidelines, opting for metro rides and EVs over conventional modes of transport. The initiative encourages reduced use of private cars, work-from-home models, and energy-saving measures to effect lasting national change.
