Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced that his government
will organise 'Car-Free Day' across the national capital on January 22,
saying he will also cycle to his office that day.
Addressing a gathering at an event of 'Car-Free Day' held on the road stretch between Dwarka Sector 3-13 and Sector 7-9, Arvind Kejriwal said his government vows to take Car-Free Day from being symbolic to a reality
The Chief Minister also appealed to people to forego cars and opt for cycle or public transport to go to their offices.
"On January 22, we will organise Car-Free Day across Delhi. I appeal people to go to their offices by cycle or public transport on that day. I will also go to my office on cycle on January 22," Mr Kejriwal said
The Delhi Government presently holds Car-Free Day on separate stretches in different areas on the 22nd of every month. On October 22, the transport department had held such event between from Red Fort to India Gate.
The next Car-Free Day in Delhi will be held in East Delhi's Patparganj area on December 22.
