Saini expressed his concern about the rapid deforestation owing to urbanisation and said he will raise awareness on the issue and encourage people to plant more trees. “All eyes are on the Char Dham yatra and I decided to undertake the pilgrimage thinking that it will draw attention to an issue that affects everyone,” said the UTC employee.

Despite facing difficulty in gaining support of the family initially, Saini sticked to the track and managed to win his family’s blessings for the expedition. “Finally, I was able to convince my family members and now I have their full support,” said Saini.
Before peddling-off on his cycle expedition, Saini planted three saplings inside the Uttarakhand Transport Corporation office on Gandhi Road on Friday.
