PM Modi in Hyderabad NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged people to use petrol, diesel and gas “with great restraint”, saying reducing dependence on imported fuel would help India limit the impact of the ongoing war.Addressing a gathering in Hyderabad after virtually inaugurating and laying the foundation stone for projects worth around Rs 9,400 crore in Telangana, PM Modi said prudent consumption of petro products was now a national necessity. “But, today, the need of the hour is also to use petrol, gas, diesel and such things with great restraint. We have to use imported petro products only as per need. This will not only save foreign exchange but reduce the adverse impact of war,” he said.
