JAIPUR: Rajasthan deputy chief minister Diya Kumari travelled by train from Jaipur to Ajmer on Sunday, backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to citizens to adopt fuel-saving measures and make greater use of public transport amid the current geopolitical situation. At Jaipur Railway Station before boarding the train, Diya Kumari said conserving fuel was a collective responsibility and stressed that small lifestyle changes could make a significant difference.“I feel that it is the collective responsibility of all of us to address the current geopolitical situation. In a way, I view this as a global crisis—one that requires us all to come together. If we collectively make an effort to conserve fuel, I believe it will make a significant difference. Our Prime Minister has also issued an appeal to the entire nation, urging us to utilise public transportation as much as possible, engage in carpooling, use bicycles, walk, and take various other measures. As public representatives, our responsibility is even greater. I believe everyone should participate to the best of their ability”, She stated.“PM Modi has not mandated this as a strict requirement; rather, he has offered it as a suggestion. Moreover, the measures suggested by PM Modi are inherently beneficial in every respect—for the environment, for our health, and in every other way. If we were to adopt these practices regularly, making them an integral part of our daily routine and lifestyle, it would truly be a remarkable step forward.” she added. She added that adopting such practices regularly would benefit both the environment and public health while encouraging sustainable living habits.
