Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi took out the second Swachh Cycle Rally during her 86th weekend morning round on Saturday.

Mr. Bedi has set apart every Saturday for these Swachh rallies with students and other people who can join in on a voluntary basis.

The rally which starts from the main gates of Raj Nivas is aimed at mobilising collective awareness towards a Swachh Puducherry.

On Saturday, students of VOC Government Higher Secondary School, Puducherry participated in the rally.

The bicycle rally went around Puducherry through the main roads taking a route that covered the periphery of the coastal town right from Muthialpet to Mudaliarpet through East Coast Road and returning to Raj Nivas.

Devansh Yadav, IAS probationer who joined the cycle rally, remarked that it was a first of its kind experience for him.

Students said they were very excited to have been part of the rally and that it was also a test of their endurance to cycle for nearly an hour around Puducherry.

According to the Lietenant Governor, the rally was meant to give them a new learning beyond what was taught in textbooks.
