Awareness rallies were organized in Visakhapatnam by the Eastern Naval Command (ENC) ahead of World Environment Day, which is observed on June 5. The aim of these rallies was to spread awareness about environmental conservation and support the Mission Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) initiative of the Government of India. More than 500 participants took part in the bicycle rallies held in different parts of the city, promoting the idea of adopting sustainable modes of transportation to reduce carbon footprint and create a cleaner and greener future.
The rallies were conducted by various units including the Naval Dockyard Visakhapatnam, the Eastern Fleet, INS Dega, INS Virbahu, and INS Satavahana. Along the rally route, posters and banners were displayed, highlighting the importance of implementing environmentally-friendly measures at workplaces, public places, and homes.
The rally organized by the Naval Dockyard Visakhapatnam was flagged off and led by Rear Admiral Sanjay Sadhu, Admiral Superintendent Dockyard. As part of the initiative to promote a clean environment and reduce carbon emissions, the units observed a “No Vehicle Day.”
The events served as a platform to increase awareness about environmental conservation and sustainable transportation among the participants and the general public. By organizing these rallies, the ENC aimed to encourage individuals to contribute to the protection and preservation of the environment.
The Eastern Naval Command’s efforts in raising awareness about environmental conservation through these rallies align with the larger goal of promoting sustainable practices and creating a greener future for Visakhapatnam and beyond.
