PM has urged Indians to switch to the work-from-home option because of the ongoing Iran-US war and to stop buying gold and foreign vacations for a year. Narendra Modi also said that these measures are taken to save foreign exchange.
India imports 90% of crude oil, and the Hormuz Strait has been closed for more than two and a half months. Also, Modiji has requested in a Hyderabad rally that people sacrifice the use of fuel, choose the work-from-home option, and stop buying gold. PM has also emphasized saving foreign exchange and urged people to use public transport instead of private ones. This is the reason why the Sensex fell by 1,000 points on Monday due to the economic crisis.
