Addressing a function in Vadodara, Gujarat, yesterday evening, Mr Modi reiterated his earlier appeal to revive Covid-era methods such as work from home, online classes, virtual meetings and reduced consumption of petrol and diesel.

Stressing on the need for collective efforts to reduce imports and help the country navigate the crisis, Prime Minister said there is a need for all of us to come together and fulfil our responsibility to reduce the burden on the country’s resources.

He said that India spends lakhs of crores of rupees in foreign exchange to import many products from abroad and the crisis has led to a steep rise in imported goods and severely disrupted global supply chains.

Mr Modi said that his government is working to ensure the impact of the crisis on Indians is minimal.

Prime Minister said that until things return to normal, every small and meaningful step is needed to contribute to the nation’s interest.

He further repeated his appeal to cut down on petrol and diesel consumption by adopting public transport, electric buses, and carpooling.

PM Modi also reiterated his appeal to avoid buying gold until the situation returns to normal.
