CHENNAI: Pattali Makkal Katchi MLAs will come to the
Assembly on bicycle, from the MLA hostel, for the
entire budget session. 

Arriving a little ahead of the start of the session on
Thursday morning, PMK president and party's leader in
the House, G.K. Mani, said the objective was to drive
home the importance of healthy living and create
awareness on the high levels of pollution in Chennai. 

"Token gesture" 

Mr. Mani said his party leadership had taken up
several environmental issues in the past and looked at
this "token gesture" as yet another means of
increasing awareness on both these issues. 

To stay fit 

More people were turning obese and cycling was one way
to stay fit. It would also decrease the number of
vehicles on road and pollution. 

The PMK leader, who led his MLAs from the hostel, said
the members would cycle each morning, regardless of
the soaring mercury levels.
