Our Hon’ble Prime Minister has urged all citizens to avoid usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day in a week. He has said that if 125 crore Indians pledge to do this, the dream of a ‘New India’ can be achieved.

Citizens are invited to suggest ways for encouraging and motivating the masses to avoid the usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day, every week.

On green environment, the government may implement the following: 1. Employ educated unemployed youths as volunteers to create awareness. 2. Legislate a law that can attract severe penalty for not following the laid down rules. 3. Set a limit for motor vehicles to refill fuel on weekly basis. Example; not more than 30 litres per car (light vehicles) used for personnel drive. 4. Supply fuel as per the need and not as per the demand from states

China is working on national infrastructure on highways to make available charging stations for electric vehicles by 2020. These may be solar powered optionally charging via the grid & capable of charging a large nos of vehicles concurrently. With new rapid charging battery tech, vehicles take very little time to charge. Call for tenders on all National,State Highways & all Cities on BOO/BOT basis & link them to EV production & Solar generation initiatives. All priority areas, no master plan

I have the following points to make - 1. Work from home option for all possible industries govt and private should be promoted. 2. In Pune "Bus Day" was conducted where public and private buses participated and we saw very minimal traffic on road. So plying multiple buses for busy destinations at peak hours makes lot of sense. 3. Vehicles on road to strictly abide by the pollution norms 4. Vehicles with alternate fuel options should be promoted without biased motive.

We have to look at it from many aspects one of those is economic growth, as we know increase in speed of transportation is directly proportional to the economic growth so firstly we have to create one option like battery operated vehicals instead petrol should advertise it to adopt it. Its permanant solution.

I live in delhi. The only thing to save fuel is to use public transport. Its harassment to deal with autowallah/taxiwallah who charge unreasonable rates. Even the app based taxi are charging very high so we use personal vehicles.Also, any vehicle parked in bus lane should be fined.Buses be given priority on roads and should run on time table as it used to run long time back.Delhi traffic police is worst. E-rickshaws etc can go wrong way,stop anywhere, illegal park etc in front of traffic police.
