Austerity in Action: Rajasthan's Chief Minister Reduces Convoy

In a step towards austerity, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has trimmed his convoy to just five cars. This move follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for thrift amid the ongoing West Asia crisis.

The chief minister was seen traveling with the shortened cavalcade on Wednesday, reflecting a commitment to cutting down on excess.

An official spokesperson confirmed that similar directives have been communicated to the chief secretary and other state officials, urging the minimal use of vehicles.
