After PM Narendra Modi’s appeal to save fuel the Divisional Commissioner of Rewa Mr BS Jamod is a first Commissioner across Madhya Pradesh Who ride to office on their bicycle every day.

Divisional Commissioner Rewa Division Mr Babu Singh Jamod has started cycling to office following PM Narendra Modi’s fuel-saving appeal amid the global fuel crisis. He believes cycling is both eco-friendly and beneficial for fitness, encouraging others to follow suit. Rewa Commissioner BS Jamod emphasizes that individual efforts can collectively become a major public movement. He also links cycling to controlling non-communicable diseases like diabetes and blood pressure.

The appeal made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to save petrol and diesel amid the ongoing fuel crisis in the world, resulting from the West Asia conflict, has impacted citizens at the ground level. Rewa Commissioner is the first Commissioner across the Madhya Pradesh who has given up his luxury car and has begun using a bicycle to commute to his office.

In an interaction with The Governance Post Editor Mr Aman the Divisional Commissioner BS Jamod said that the country is currently going through a phase of global challenges, and in such times, it is the responsibility of every citizen to take small steps in national interest.

He said: “The cycle is not just an eco-friendly mode of transport but also beneficial to maintain fitness. Given PM Modi’s appeal to save fuel, I find the cycle the best option.”

“I hope using the bicycle myself will encourage others in my office to do the same. Moreover, given the traffic in Rewa, commuting will take more or less the same time,” he added.

Divisional Commissioner Rewa Mr Jamod advised people to use cycle when travelling to the market or if one’s office is closer to home.

He also said that the Prime Minister’s appeal to reduce petrol and diesel consumption is not only economically beneficial for the country, but also sends a positive message to future generations.

He further said that one should not think that the impact will be of no use if only he or she adheres to such measures.

“Rather if people across the country gradually join such a campaign, it can turn into a major public movement. We should focus on what we can contribute in such times,” he said.

Mr Jamod asserted that
“Since the future of the country lies on the shoulders of the youth, they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The non-communicable diseases like diabetes, blood pressure etc can be controlled with the use of bicycles,” he mentioned.
