26 Lakh spent one hour cycling in Bhopal, questions about the transparency of the forest section

The one -hour bike meeting organized by the Bhopal Forest division on December 13, 2024, has now been engulfed in controversies. After the information on more than 26 lakh calls arranged under Janakalyan Parv, questions were asked about administrative transparency and financial liability. Explain that the main purpose of this rally was to make the youth aware of the environment and the preservation of wildlife. Hundreds of cyclists participated in the event and awareness messages of the forest division were promoted by different parts of the city. However, the figure of expenses on this rally not only surprised the citizens, but also gave the opposition parties and social organizations the opportunity to question the government’s work style. According to sources, in this one -hour rally, bicycle rent, gasoline, publicity material, tents, food, publicity vehicles and guests were spent heavily. There are many of these expenses that are considered excessive as field activity. Critics believe that if this amount is spent on plantation or environmental education programs in rural areas, it would have a more permanent effect. Environmentalists and social workers expressed these expenses dissatisfied, saying that millions of rupees were more pretending to be more advantaged by the guise of publicity on serious topics such as wildlife and environmental protection. No detailed answer has so far been revealed by the forest section, although departmental sources said that “the rally was an attempt to connect the youth and raise public awareness, which was spent keeping in mind the quality of the opportunity.” Here, opposition parties began to prepare to discuss the issue in the meeting. Spokesmen from Congress have claimed that “the government was wasting much of the government’s money in the name of the public welfare festival and that such expensive programs are being done to divert attention from real issues.” A debate on this issue also began among the public. General people question the priorities of the forest department and the morality of spending on social media. The thing to be seen is whether the government will ensure transparency through the financial overview of this event, or the matter will also go slowly in cold storage like other disputes. Currently, this bike race discusses the basic spirit, expenses and the question of accountability.
