In Dec 2019, the Rajasthan government announced that they’d be observing a ‘no vehicle day’ every month starting the following year.

Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has trapped us all at homes and taught us to restrict our use of public and personal transport, aren’t we all better placed to adopt this nationally?

The pandemic-triggered lockdown has showed us how nature can revamp itself when left untouched. The damage that we thought was irreversible seems to have undone itself.

Not only will a no vehicle day bring down the disastrous pollution levels that we live with, it will also cut down on our wasteful fuel expenses and help the environment in replenishing itself.

So pledge your vote to introduce a no vehicle day in your city, in your town. One Sunday, a month. Let’s begin to treat our planet like we intend on staying on it forever.
