Chandigarh (PTI): In a rare display of a public official and a cabinet minister and that too the transport minister of a state at its austere best, Master Mohan Lal, Transport Minister of Punjab on Thursday chose a rather conventional mode of transportation to reach his office at Civil Secretariat, here.

Master rode a bicycle from his official residence in Sector 39 to attend his office.

Master Mohan Lal accompanied by Senior BJP Youth Leader and member National Executive Vineet Joshi, provided a rare spectacle to curious on lookers aho were amazed by the sheer sight of a cabinet minister on move on a bicycle.

Master Mohan Lal who is known for his rather out of bloc ideas to convey his point of view chose to travel down by bicycle in view of the recent hike in petrol and diesel rates across the country.

It was a sheer sight for everyone at the civil secretariat as soon as the transport minister entered the premises saddled like a prince on a bicycle.
