Ace shuttler Jwala Gutta on Tuesday lent her support to the 'give it up' campaign for relinquishing LPG subsidy. "People need to come forward and join the movement as only we can make a difference to the lives of all those who do not have LPG connections and cook on polluting fuels like wood, coal, kerosene etc," Jwala, who endorsed the campaign at a fuel station, said.


Jwala gave up the subsidy herself and then made an emotional appeal to people to give up their LPG subsidy so that some BPL household could benefit from such an action. "We have over 130 million homes using such fuels for cooking and these cause indoor pollution and lead to health problems particularly to women and children who are at home.


In fact, in our country a very large number of people die of indoor pollution," the 31-year-old badminton player said. In response to her plea, people also came forward and gave up their LPG subsidy. Jwala felicitated two 'GiveItUp Champions' on the occasion.
