Rajnath Singh Cuts Convoy Size by Over Half, PM Modi's appeal to conserve fuel

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has decided to downsize his convoy to less than half its original size, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to conserve fuel amid the ongoing West Asia crisis. 

Alongside the Defence Minister, several Ministers have moved to significantly downsize their security convoys to conserve fuel. 

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu ordered an immediate 50 per cent



reduction in the number of vehicles in his convoy during district tours.

During a review meeting with the Director General of Police (DGP) and senior Intelligence officials, the CM directed that the restraint take effect immediately. 

He further instructed ministers, public representatives, and VIPs to minimise the use of official vehicles, emphasising that these savings measures are essential to navigate current fiscal pressures.
