New Delhi: His job may be to take care of Indian skies, but aviation minister P Ashok Gajapathi Raju's has shown equal concern for mother earth. The erstwhile royal of Vizinagaram in Andhra Pradesh is getting a master power switch installed in his office chamber at the ministry headquarters, Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, so that the minute he walks out, this is turned off and no lights remain on inside unnecessarily.
The minister wants to set an example for others and the move is going to be replicated in offices of all departments that come under the ministry nationwide. "We have seen that people are in the habit of keeping lights, ACs, TVs, computers and other electronics switched on even when they are not in their rooms or when they are not required. The master switch in the minister's office will be installed within a week and then a circular will be issued to adopt the same practice at all other aviation offices in the country. Others too can do the same in their offices," said a senior official overseeing this project.
