The South Central Railway, Vijayawada Division, in collaboration with the AP Pollution Control Board officials organised the Mission Life Bicycle Rally on Lifestyle and Environmental Awareness here on Wednesday.
The rally was flagged off by Dr L Ravikanth, ACMS, Administration Railway Hospital, Vijayawada, and T Prasada Rao, Environmental Engineer, APPCB Regional Office. Around 100 Bharat Scouts & Guides took part in the bicycle rally aimed to spread awareness on lifestyle changes for a safer environment.
Dr L Ravikanth, ACMS, said that cycling was a very good cardio workout and appealed to the gathering to use cycles as means of reaching workplaces and schools. He said that cycling simultaneously reduced our dependence on fossil fuels and also was the best daily exercise for the body.
Later, Dr Ravikanth distributed prizes to the winners of the drawing competition held recently on ‘Save Environment’. Finally, Meri LiFE pledge was administered to the Bharat Scouts & Guides.
