As part of the Mission LiFE (Lifestyle For Environment), launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to motivate and mobilise the public to create an ecosystem that will reinforce and enable environmentally friendly behaviours, and to be self-sustainable, the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board and Ongole Municipal Corporation organised a bicycle rally from the Collectorate to the mini stadium, to create an awareness of environmental protection.
