During the year 2015-16, India spent Rs.4.82 lakh crores on imports to fulfill domestic demand. To reduce the import burden, and also to work towards to a greener environment, it is proposed to avoid usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day in a week.

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.

We need more pathways for bicycles/e-scooters. These vehicles are banned on many roads. The Govt. can launch a campaign whereby participants voluntarily choose a day of the week to cycle to work (or to do chores/visit friends on a weekend, if workplace is not close by). This campaign can have participants uploading photos of their commute with a hashtag. Every week, some of these pictures can be awarded a bicycle/e-scooter which winners can suggest their like-minded friends to receive.

Good initiative. 1. To encourage people to use bicycle / walking, and for this involve mobile companies to track them using Location data. If they cross say 10 km a week by way of walking, provide them with 10 GB of FREE data per month. 2. Give spot prices with credit points per week to cyclist commuters. 3. Please ask administrators to clear the so called cycle tracks. 4. Create CYCLE app, ask people to register for cycle use. Track their usage, and monthly reward them per district.

It is a good idea indeed not to Diesel or Petrol at least one day in a week. But is it practical? Transport system has to be improve first. PM issued Swatch Abhiyan but my locality is very dirty even though I am paying Swatch Abhiyan Tax. What the Govt is providing service to citizen? Therefore, in my opinion, to curtail in using Petrol/diesel, the improvement in roads, pedestrian walk ways, cycle track are required otherwise, if I am going on foot or on bicycle, someone will hit me.

Alternatively, certain stretches i.e Streets or Roads may be declared as e-zone on Sundays and other Holidays where vehicles operated by Petrol or Diesel can be banned only cycles and batter operated vehicles may be allowed.

1. All Public transport vehicles should follow the pollution standards if not then should be off-road the vehicle. 2. Auto Rickshaw must be monitored carefully; these vehicles should off-road if it’s more than 5 years of utilization. 3. More Railway lines for transport connecting majority of the places (Swiss model is a good idea) 4. All IT Companies should mandate one day work from home.
