Walking along the beach road on a Sunday morning is always a pleasure. And if there are no vehicles to be worried, it is more fun. Celebrating two years of fun, fitness and entertainment, The Hindu’s Car-free Sunday stepped into the 3rd year this past Sunday.
A special line-up of events had been made for anniversary on October 29 between 6 a.m. and 8.30 a.m. The day began with a special Zumba routine, followed by spectacular drums orchestra by Drumalaya. The public was welcome to get their caricatures done, learn the basics of first aid, take a bicycle and ride along the beach road or enjoy a photo walk on the journey of Car-free Sundays.
A small felicitation ceremony was held to acknowledge the contribution of partners who supported Car-free Sundays. A special contest was conducted for the audience and those who won were given free gift vouchers and other goodies. The celebrations were rounded off with a special streetplay touching upon various issues pertinent to society by DJ Ensomneacks.
Started in October 2015 as an initiative to encourage the public to reclaim the streets and spend some quality time away from automobiles, a variety of events are conducted every Sunday.
