As a part of the campaign five metro stations of LMRC including the Hazratganj Metro Station took the blue hue with decorative lightings. Photo booths were installed at all the metro stations, volunteers posted at these photo booths encouraged visitors to click their pictures and support the cause. They informed the visitors about the need and purpose of the campaign. Around 6000s number of metro commuters supported the cause and got their pictures clicked at the photo booths.

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.

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”.
