Union Minister Kiren Rijiju recently took to Twitter to applaud the unique initiative adopted by the Indian Railway ministry to encourage fitness. In a first, Indian Railways has installed a squat machine at Anand Vihar railway station in Delhi which enables people to earn a free platform ticket if they successfully perform 30 squats in 180 seconds.
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal took to Twitter to share the initiative encouraging the Fit India moment saying that it is beneficial in two ways, making people fit and saving their money.
फिटनेस के साथ बचत भी: दिल्ली के आनंद विहार रेलवे स्टेशन पर फिटनेस को प्रोत्साहित करने के लिए अनूठा प्रयोग किया गया है।
