Surat. Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to citizens to save fuel and adopt frugality, Union Minister of Jal Shakti C.R. Patil has made an important and symbolic decision.
He announced that until the current war-like conditions normalize, he will not use pilot and escort cars for any government or private events. The Union Minister has implemented this decision with immediate effect. On Tuesday, he arrived at his scheduled programs without a pilot and escort vehicle.
The main objective of this step is said to be saving petrol and diesel to contribute to the nation's interest. C.R. Patil stated that the entire world is currently facing a crisis of crude oil and increasing challenges. At such a time, it is the duty of every responsible public representative to save fuel.
He mentioned that just as he has tried to turn the Prime Minister's campaigns like 'Jal Shakti' and 'Catch the Rain' into a people's movement, he now wants to spread the message of fuel saving to the public. This decision by the Union Minister has been praised in political and social circles.
It is believed that this will inspire other public representatives and state governments towards simplicity and prudent use of resources. C.R. Patil's initiative has also sent a positive message among common citizens that when leadership sets an example, widespread change in society becomes possible.
