ITANAGAR: Tawang District Olympic Association (TDOA) President Jambey Tashi joined by Vice President Namgey Tsering on Tuesday distributed 27 Mountain Terrain Bikes (MTB) to interested locals of various age groups of Lumla constituency.

The MTB distribution was aimed to create health consciousness among the denizens in line with the Fit India Movement launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing a simple function with the theme 'Fit India Movement' and 'Say No to Drugs', Tashi, the lawmaker from Lumla constituency and also advisor of RWD, Planning and Investment, informed that the entire world today is facing the major challenge of global warming and looking out for an option.

"Cycling can prove to be a major game changer to tame global warming, check air pollution and protect our environment", he pointed out, while urging everyone to opt for cycles as the mode of transport for short destinations.

"The Fit India Movement launched by the prime minister on August 29 last year, has transformed into a mass movement with people wholeheartedly accepting it and turning health conscious by exercising and picking various sports is a major achievement" the MLA said.

Tashi, who is also the BJP National Minority Morchha Member, called on the participants to create awareness on drugs.

"Drugs and cannabis are taking deadly toll on our youth and making massive influence over them, which is a serious subject of concern. Intake of intoxicants have proved to be very addictive and once anyone falls prey, it takes humongous efforts and labour to get away from its malicious clutch", he added.

State BJP minority morchha President Pema Ngawang and Lumla ADC RD Thungon also spoke on the occasion attended by youth leaders and senior party leaders. IANS
