Maharashtra's government is poised to make significant cuts to ministerial convoy sizes, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent calls for austerity and efficient resource usage.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is spearheading the initiative, with two high-level meetings scheduled to finalize the details. The ministerial vehicles may see a reduction of nearly 50%, sources reveal.
Security procedures will still be upheld, while a public announcement is expected after comprehensive discussions involving key state officials. Modi's reduction in his own convoy exemplifies the austerity measures being promoted nationwide.
