If every citizen considers fuel saving as their responsibility, this campaign can take the form of a widespread mass movement. Chief Minister said that it is the need of the hour to make fuel conservation a campaign of public participation with the spirit of 'Nation First'. He called upon the people of the state to play the role of responsible citizens in the national interest, stating that every conscious step will significantly contribute to the country's energy security, environmental protection, and economic strength.
