Harsh Vardhan

Leading a six-km-long cycle rally here to promote the cycling habit among citizens, Union Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan on Sunday urged organisations to develop schemes to incentivise the use of cycles for coming to offices as a way to curb air pollution. Over 500 cycling enthusiasts took part in the cycle rallies here and in the neighbouring district capital of Ghaziabad by state-run Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL), which distributes environment-friendly compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles and piped national gas (PNG) to consumers in the National Capital Region (NCR).
