Impact on Supplies

Adopting Sustainable Practices
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal, CM Yogi reiterated the importance of embracing renewable energy, carpooling, metro services, electric vehicles, and shuttle bus systems to conserve fuel. He also highlighted innovative community kitchen models based on biogas plants in rural areas, utilizing over 7,700 cow shelters that protect more than 1.5 million cattle, thereby reducing dependence on LPG.
