The Governor of Rajasthan, Shri Haribhau Bagde, has set an exemplary standard for fuel conservation and administrative austerity. Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recurring appeals to save fuel, the Governor has issued immediate directives to reduce the number of vehicles in his official carcade.
Leading by Example: Warning Cars and Ambulances Removed
Governor Bagde personally initiated this change on Thursday while traveling from Loka Bhavan to the airport. He issued clear instructions to exclude non-essential vehicles such as warning cars, ambulances, and fire brigades from his convoy during routine city travel. An official order has been released from his office strictly mandating that the number of accompanying vehicles be kept to a bare minimum.
A Call to the Public and Government Machinery
Beyond his personal convoy, the Governor has urged the citizens of the state and government officials to join this movement:
- Promotion of Public Transport: He has called upon the public to prioritize the use of public transportation over private vehicles whenever possible.
- Self-Motivation: The Governor stated that fuel conservation should not just be a policy but a personal responsibility adopted through “self-motivation” by every citizen.
- Administrative Savings: He advised government departments to minimize vehicle usage at all levels to curb fuel consumption and reduce unnecessary state expenditure.
Significance of the Initiative
Experts believe that when high-ranking constitutional authorities take such steps, it sends a powerful positive message to the masses. This initiative is expected to not only save fuel and taxpayer money but also reduce traffic congestion and public inconvenience typically associated with VIP movements.
