Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Thursday walked from his official residence to the venue of the ‘Fit India’ Movement’ function here and urged the people of the State to walk to their office, school and college at least once in a week.
The CM announced that he would be walking from his official residence to his office every Wednesday and urged one and all to follow suit. “I request all officials, students and whoever who would like to join this campaign to walk to work and their institutions on Wednesdays,” he said.
The CM said the people are aware of fitness which has been a part of tradition and culture. “Problem is that in our day to day lives and different responsibilities we have as a student, officer or public leader we sometimes tend to forget that aspect and this programme today is to remind us to take out a certain time in our day to remain active and fit,” Sangma said.
