Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on
Sunday called for the prime tourist cities in the country to completely
switch to clean fuels.
Addressing a virtual meet on the occasion
of World Tourism Day, along with Minister for Tourism Prahlad Singh
Patel, Pradhan said that such a move towards sustainability will help
protect the country's monuments and ensure a cleaner environment for the
tourists, an official statement said.
Pradhan also noted that
the tourism industry offers unprecedented potential for employment
generation and empowerment of the youth, also in the rural areas.
He
said that "every district of our country has a historic story to share
or a legend to narrate, and as India celebrates 75 years of independence
in 2022, we must work on creating more tourism sites around the heroism
of our freedom fighters."
