Cycling not only promotes health but also represents our commitment to greener urban mobility and environmental stewardship, he said.
D.K. Mittal, Executive Director of the Sports Authority of India said his organisation believes in the transformative power of sports to bring people together and inspire change.
PedalOzone is a wonderful example of how sporting initiatives can drive awareness, encourage healthy living, and foster a collective spirit of environmental responsibility, Mittal added.
