Odisha CM Cuts Convoy Amid Global Oil Concerns

In a significant move responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's nationwide appeal, Odisha's Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, has cut down his official convoy's vehicle count by half.

Amid escalating global oil prices and geopolitical tensions in West Asia, this decision aligns with Majhi's advisory to reduce vehicular fuel consumption.

Citizens have been urged to minimize personal vehicle use, favor public transport, and limit travel to essential purposes, in addition to avoiding purchasing gold and limiting foreign trips. The exact number of reduced vehicles remains undisclosed due to security concerns.
