he urged citizens to:
Use petrol, diesel, and gas “with restraint”
Prefer metro/public transport and carpooling
Increase work-from-home and virtual meetings
Postpone non-essential foreign travel
These remarks were linked to concerns around global energy disruption and economic pressure from the ongoing West Asia crisis.
