RPG Business Chairman Harsh Goenka praised the Delhi Metro initiative through social media platform XX to promote fitness by mentioning the number of calories on the stairs, a move that encourages people to walk more than ride sublimation.
Harsh Goenka focuses on burning calories in his post, rather than burning electricity without escalators when traveling on the subway. He also stressed that the escalator queues last longer despite people telling people how many calories they are losing, which shows the fitness habits of the Indian people.
“The Delhi Metro was hacked by clever hacks – burning calories, not electricity! Every step tells you how much you are scattered, but the escalator queue is still longer than Monday morning.”
Netizen reaction
People on social media platforms responded to Harsh Goenka’s post, saying the initiative was a good encouragement for people to walk more than use electric escalators.
“It’s a good message to encourage people to walk,” said an social media user named Anshul Garg.
“Every passenger goes up the stairs = passenger fitness + electricity savings,” said Nithin Shankar, highlighting the benefits of subway travelers choosing stairs over escalators.
Many also address today’s social problems, where people don’t want to burn calories and fall victim to obesity. Another user, Siva Kumar, said: “That’s the real picture… no ‘Body’ wants to burn calories…but just to “lift” their kilograms.”
There are also some responding to Goenka’s post, suggesting that Delhi Metro implement the term calorie instead of kilowatt-hours for a broader understanding.
“If they expressed it in ‘calories’ instead of ‘kilowatt’, the optical impact would be much better,” said a social media user named Bongbaygeek.
Some people also focus on the need to rush to work, one of whom is called Writetermba4U, said the idea is good, but can only work without rushing to work from home.
“The idea is good, but it can work when there is no crazy rush to work… maybe.”
