Union Minister for Home Affairs, Shri Amit Shah laid foundation stone of The Delhi Cycle Walk at Tughlakabad, New Delhi on 6 January 2020.
Benefits
It would reduce air pollution of New Delhi by at least 20% and green commuting will now be possible in New Delhi.
This move will usher in an era where green transportation like cycles will become fashionable and would be widely used.
The 200 km CycleWalk will also give an impetus to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Fit India’.
Roughly 11 lakh people commute on bicycles in New Delhi at present, and efforts should be made to increase this number to 50 lakh cycle commuters, which would make a major difference in Delhi’s traffic and pollution levels.
