New Delhi, May 13 The number of vehicles in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy has been significantly reduced. This decision was taken amid Prime Minister Modi’s ‘energy conservation’ appeal.
Prime Minister Modi has reduced the number of vehicles in his official convoy to reduce fuel consumption. At the same time, all mandatory security measures under the SPG protocol have been fully maintained.
A video shows PM Modi’s convoy as being very small, consisting of only a few vehicles.
According to sources, during his recent visit to Assam for Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s swearing-in ceremony and while attending the Somnath Amrit Mahotsav in Gujarat, the Prime Minister’s convoy was significantly smaller than before.
The SPG has begun implementing the Prime Minister’s directives and has reduced the number of vehicles, but essential security arrangements remain in place.
This move by the Prime Minister is being seen as a message that the government is moving towards fuel efficiency and reducing expenses. This could inspire other ministers and leaders to adopt similar measures.
Union Minister of State Jitendra Singh was also seen traveling in a single vehicle. A video of him has surfaced, showing him in a single vehicle. No security or pilot vehicle is visible with him.
It is noteworthy that the Prime Minister had appealed to the countrymen to reduce fuel consumption and use more public transport such as the metro, carpooling, and electric vehicles. He also urged them to prioritize domestic travel over buying gold and traveling abroad.
According to sources, the Prime Minister has also given instructions to include electric vehicles in his convoy.
