Modi Urges Indians to Work from Home and Limit Overseas Travel Amid Middle East Conflict

India’s prime minister called on citizens to live responsibly during the ongoing Iran war. He urged remote work and reduced overseas travel to conserve foreign exchange. At an event in Hyderabad, he appealed for greater use of public transport, carpooling and a 50% cut in fertiliser use. His remarks coincided with a sharp drop in the Sensex amid fears of prolonged economic disruption. Industries from glass manufacturing to agriculture are feeling the impact of rising oil prices. Observers say further directives on energy use and possible fuel price revisions may follow. Opposition leaders criticised the government for shifting responsibility onto citizens. Similar measures have been introduced by other nations to shield consumers from oil supply shocks.
