Modi suggests Statue of Unity weddings
Modi suggested hosting weddings at places like the Statue of Unity instead of going abroad, keeping celebrations (and money) in India.
He also asked people to cut back on things like edible oil and gold purchases, use public transport or carpool more often, and switch to digital meetings when possible.
He sounded optimistic, saying India has handled tough times before and can do it again if everyone pitches in.
