60-day river yoga floats dual message of wellness & cleanliness
Lucknow: The 60-day River Yoga campaign, blending wellness and environmental action, concluded with a mass yoga demonstration at Kudiya Ghat on International Yoga Day on Saturday. The campaign was led by the Gomti Task Force (137 Composite Ecological Task Force Battalion, Territorial Army), in collaboration with the State Mission for Clean Ganga (SMCG-UP), Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), and the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC). The drive brought together students, civil society members, and volunteers for daily yoga sessions and riverbank clean-up campaigns. The concluding event, which drew over 300 participants, featured a mass yoga demonstration, an exhibition summarising the 60-day campaign, and felicitation of key contributors. Attendees included Rajya Sabha members Dinesh Sharma, former minister Mohsin Raza, Prof Venkatesh Dutta from BBAU, civic officials, and representatives from the army. "We completed 60 days of continuous clean-up and yoga on the banks of Gomti. The campaign has led to the approval of several eco-measures, such as a dedicated budget in the Lucknow Municipal Corporation for a trash skimmer, and the start of continuous monitoring of STPs and drains," said Prof Venkatesh Dutta, who added that the initiative was a model of civil-military-academic collaboration, promoting a people-led approach to environmental restoration and river rejuvenation. Launched on April 21, the campaign operated daily from 6-8am across five major ghats — Kudiya, Mankameshwar, Jhulelal, Gau, and Chhath. Each session began with guided yoga led by certified instructors and was followed by clean-up activities involving NCC/NSS cadets, local NGOs, and residents. Weekly themes such as "plastic-free ghats" and "mindfulness by the river" emphasized the connection between personal well-being and ecological responsibility. The initiative resulted in several civic outcomes, including continuous monitoring of sewage treatment plants (STPs) and drains flowing into the Gomti.

Counselling sessions, road safety pledge for Crut crew
1 2 Bhubaneswar: In a bid to bolster road safety, Capital Region Urban Transport (Crut), which operates the Ama Bus services, has ramped up its 'Zero Accident Day' plans. The initiative focuses on daily counselling sessions and the administration of road safety pledge across all its depots and operational terminals. The efforts aim to sensitise crew members on safe driving practices, reinforce their responsibilities and foster a culture of accountability and care on the roads. Housing and urban development department's principal secretary Usha Padhee visited Crut's Naraj depot on Saturday, where she interacted with the crew members and administered the road safety pledge, urging them to uphold the highest standards of service. "Safety begins with us. As frontline service providers, Crut crew members carry the trust of thousands of citizens every day. Let us pledge to ensure that every journey is not just timely, but safe and dependable," she said. The sensitisation and awareness session holds significance, especially following the introduction of 100 new e-buses to its existing fleet, flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday. With the additions, Crut has decided to operate the buses on eight new routes. Padhee also emphasised the message of 'Come Home Safe', highlighting the importance of not only passenger safety but also the well-being of crew members and their families. She encouraged the staff to deliver services that inspire confidence and trust among commuters. The 'Zero Accident Day' campaign aims to significantly reduce road accidents, improve driving discipline, and enhance the overall commuting experience in the capital region. "Crut remains committed to providing safe, reliable, and inclusive public transport while ensuring the safety of its workforce and the public it serves," a statement from Crut read.
