Cycling has been undertaken as one of the healthy exercises by the citizens of Telangana. Hoping to bring down pollution and safeguard the environment, the Telangana government has decided to promote cycling as a transport option in the significant cities of Telangana. The state government is considering to make the best use of the central government’s initiative ‘India Cycle4Challenge’ (C4C Challenge) under the smart cities mission by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). Out of the 95 cycle-friendly cities across India that have enrolled for the Challenge, three cities—Hyderabad, Warangal and Karimnagar are from Telangana.
