Come September 22, 2015 the Millennium City will observe
car-free day every Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to encourage people to
use alternative modes of transport.
Though the whole
city will celebrate the initiative, four major corridors -- DLF Cyber
City, Cyber Park area, Golf Course Road and Electronic City in Udyog
Vihar-IV -- have been identified to focus on the campaign. The idea is
to give an experience of car-free streets to the people and persuade
them to use sustainable modes of transport. It will save an average of
2.6 kg of greenhouse gas emissions per person per day.
A
meeting of all stakeholders was held this past week to decide on the
course of action for the D-day. The Haryana Urban Development Authority
(HUDA), the Municipal Council of Gurgaon (MCG), the Gurgaon Police and
the Deputy Commissioner of Gurgaon came together in support of the
initiative
