Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria embraced sustainable travel by riding an electric bus to an event following PM Modi’s fuel-saving appeal. He declared a weekly ‘No Vehicle Day’ for himself and his office staff to lead by example.
Kataria emphasized the importance of high-ranking officials initiating such practices to inspire public participation. He announced that students in Chandigarh would also be encouraged to use eco-friendly modes of transport every Wednesday.
The Governor highlighted the potential impact of this initiative, aiming to motivate people to conserve fuel and contribute to environmental sustainability. He affirmed the commitment of all Union Territory officers to adhere to the weekly transportation guidelines.
Oil prices have surged due to global tensions, prompting petrol and diesel rates to increase. This move underscores the significance of fuel conservation and the need for sustainable travel practices.
