The Delhi Metro on Saturday launched the Metro Adventure Club (MAC) to promote adventure and sports activities among its employees.
The event, organised on the occasion of 'World Heritage Day', was arranged in association with 'Delhi Walks' which arranges guided walks to various heritage locations in the national capital.
A heritage walk was organised between Chawri Bazar and Chandni Chowk in old Delhi and the group covered locations like Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Gauri Shankar Mandir, Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib and the famous Paranthe Wali Gali.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) managing director Mangu Singh formally flagged off the walk in the presence of other senior officials and also took part in the walk.
"This is an initiative to promote adventure and sports activities among our employees. We are carrying out construction activities in all parts of Delhi and such walks are aimed to instill awareness among the employees about the rich culture and heritage of the city," said a statement.
A visit to Yamunotri and Gangotri is now on the cards for the club members next month.
