Following the UT administration and keeping in view the appeal of the Prime Minister, the Panjab University (PU) has decided to observe a vehicle-free day at the PU campus on every Wednesday.The university has decided to constitute a task force to encourage the ‘Save Fuel’ campaign and promote sustainable mobility practices across the two PU campuses.The decisions were taken in a meeting chaired by PU Vice Chancellor Prof Renu Vig, in which the Dean University Instruction (DUI) Prof Meenakshi Goyal, Registrar Prof YP Verma, Finance and Development Officer (FDO) Dr Vikram Nayyar, Dean Student Welfare (DSW) Prof YK Rawal, President of Panjab University Teachers’ Association (PUTA) Prof Amarjit Naura, Director Public Relations (DPR) Dr Vineet Punia and representative of PUSA participated.The university has appealed to students and teaching/non-teaching employees not to use their vehicles on every Wednesday and instead use the free shuttle bus service and e-rickshaw facility, available at nominal charges within the campus (Sector-14 and Sector-25), to commute in the campuses and observe a vehicle-free day every Wednesday.The task force will sensitise students, faculty members and employees about fuel conservation and environmentally responsible transport practices.
