Modi urges India to conserve fuel as global price surges

May 10 (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged citizens and businesses to conserve fuel and revive work-from-home practices to cut petrol and diesel consumption, as a surge in global energy prices strains the country's foreign exchange reserves.

Trump rejects Iran peace terms, Tehran warns of new attacks
