Chandigarh 07th Feb,
2020:- As
a part of the Petroleum Conservation Research Association’s (PCRA’s) larger
campaign –Sanrakshan Kshamta Mahotsav (Saksham), GAIL (India) Limited is
organizing Saksham Fit India Walkathon on February 09 at “Sukhna Lake”,
Chandigarh from 8 am onwards.
Chief General Manager, Chandigarh
Zonal Office of GAIL India Ltd., Lalit Bhatt said that this is an initiative of
Prime Minister Narendra Modi who firmly believes that if every citizen avoids
using diesel or petrol driven transport medium, even for one day in a week, it
would add up substantially to development of new India. Inspired by Prime
Minister Modi’s vision, PCRA is organizing a month long awakening campaign
(from January 16th to February 15th 2020), through which walkathons across
close to 624 districts are being organized by oil and gas PSU’s to draw mass
attention and sensitize various groups of the society on the need and benefits
of petroleum products conservation.
Emphasizing on the need of the
campaign Lalit Bhatt added that the motive behind Saksham Fit India Walkathon
is to develop a mass awakening to adopt walking as a mechanism to not just save
fuel but also safeguard the environment and its limited resources at large.
Walking should also be looked at as
a primary fitness activity, especially aimed at improvement of health. The
objective of campaign and the walkathon is to sensitize participants about the
conservation of petroleum products, educate the masses on ways to mitigate
pollution levels and save resources by choosing to walk short distances.
It also aims to promote a pollution
free environment in Chandigarh. In this event, the participants can take part
in a 2 Km walk starting from Sukhna Lake.
While participants can register
online at www.sakshamsukhna.in, there will also be
on-the-spot registration for the event beginning from 08:00 AM at Sukhna Lake,
Chandigarh on February 9th, 2020.
For larger participation, there is
no registration fee being charged. In fact, the first 1000 participants will be
given a participant kit which includes a T-Shirt, Cap and refreshments on first
come first serve basis.
Large participation is solicited to
make this campaign a great success.
