What is the appeal?

PM Narendra Modi had recently appealed to save petrol and diesel, not buy gold for a year, and carpooling amid the global crisis caused by the Iran-US-Israel war. 

While sharing response to carpooling, PM Modi said that many people travelling in the same direction had started sharing vehicles instead of using separate cars.
