Shimla: In a move aimed at promoting fuel conservation amid the ongoing West Asia crisis and rising global crude oil prices, Himachal Pradesh Governor Kavinder Gupta on Wednesday announced a series of austerity and energy-saving measures at Lok Bhawan in Shimla.
Declaring Lok Bhawan a "Fuel Conservation Zone" through a social media post, the Governor said that no official vehicle using imported fuel would operate on Sundays. He also announced that he would give up the use of his official vehicle one day every week and instead opt for an electric vehicle or carpooling.
