Ruth Lyons, UNICEF, Uttar Pradesh Chief of Feed Office and Dr. Kumar Keshav, MD UPMRCL who were present at the inaugural expressed their happiness at the successful completion of the campaign. Ruth thanked the Lucknow Metro for joining the Children's Campaign and thanked the staff posted at five selected metro stations for joining the campaign #GoBlue. He told that many organizations of the world do blue lighting on 20 November to show their participation towards children's rights. In India, Rashtrapati Bhavan, North, and South Block are among the prominent buildings that showed solidarity with children’s rights and collaborated in this global campaign.
Dr. Kumar Keshav, MD, UPMRCL said that “The safety of children is the top priority of UPMRC. Metro staffs pay special attention to children traveling by the metro. If it appears that a child is traveling without parents, we ensure to enquire who is with him - if the child is found alone then the action is taken immediately. LMRC will continue to prioritize issues related to children's rights in the future. Artifacts were displayed in the program to create awareness about child rights”.
Apart from Hazratganj, four other metro stations that participated in the #GoBlue campaign were Bhootnath, Vishvavidyalaya, Charbagh, and Transport Nagar metro stations.
