In a bid to promote fuel conservation, the 'Mera Bharat Mera Yogdan' campaign saw Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and her cabinet opt for the metro during their Monday commute. This initiative aims to encourage sustainable urban practices amid regional uncertainties.
Alongside Minister Gupta were Social Welfare Minister Ravindra Singh Indraj and other cabinet members, all of whom emphasized the importance of public transport. By taking the metro from Kashmere Gate to ITO station, the officials underscored efforts to combat pollution and traffic congestion in the capital.
The campaign encourages residents to embrace public transport and includes other measures, such as work-from-home, no-car days, virtual meetings, and limiting official vehicle use to help conserve petroleum resources.
