Fit India: Do 30 squats, walk away with free platform ticket

NEW DELHI: Want to remain fit and also save some bucks in the process? Well, the Railways has come up with a novel way to promote the ‘Fit India’ movement by installing squat machines at the Anand Vihar railway station here to dispense free platform tickets to people who do 30 squats in three minutes.

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal took to Twitter and wrote: “Savings along with fitness. To encourage fitness, a unique experiment has been on at Delhi’s Anand Vihar railway station. Platform tickets can be had for free after exercising on the squat machine installed here.”

He also posted a video clip wherein a young man is doing squats on the machine.

Union Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju responded and said: “What a unique step by Railway Minister Piyush Goyalji. Fitness for free and saving money too! Exercise in front of this machine at Anand Vihar railway station in Delhi and get a free platform ticket. Let’s make Narendra Modiji’s initiated Fit India Movement a people’s movement.”
