Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari was seen traveling by bus in Pune after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal for fuel conservation and reduced fuel consumption. Instead of using a luxury car or a large VIP convoy, Gadkari chose public transport during his inspection visit of road and infrastructure projects, including the Palakhi Marg route. The move is being viewed as a strong symbolic message supporting fuel saving, simplicity, and reducing unnecessary government expenses. Reports suggest Gadkari also instructed officials to minimize the convoy size during the visit. The gesture has sparked discussions on social media, with many praising the minister for setting an example by following PM Modi’s appeal.
