Sood said he chose public transport to help save fuel, adding that officials usually use several vehicles during school inspection visits, which leads to higher fuel consumption.
Sharing his travel details on social media platform X, Sood said he took the metro and an e-rickshaw to reach the school programme. “I had a meaningful discussion with the HOS of Zone-1 & 2 regarding further improving the education system and making it more student-centric,” he added.
