- Mathura-Vrindavan aims to become a “net zero carbon emission” tourist destination by 2041.
- This means that tourist vehicles will be banned from the entire Braj region.
- It includes famous pilgrim centres such as Vrindavan and Krishna Janmabhoomi.
- Instead, only electric vehicles used as public transport will be allowed into the area.
- All 252 water bodies and 24 forests in the area will also be revived.
- The eight key cities of this region would also be connected through an inland waterways system and a narrow-gauge railway line.
- The existing 12.9 km narrow gauge railway line connecting the twin cities of Mathura and Vrindavan would be redeveloped.
- Net Zero Carbon Emission is referred to as carbon neutrality.
- It does not mean that a country/state would bring down its emissions to zero.
- But it is a state in which a country’s/state’s emissions are compensated by the absorption and removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
