Chandigarh 19th
August:- Mirchi, India’s No. radio
station, has always championed contemporary issues which are relevant to
society. One such issue is women’s safety and
sexual harassment against women. Mirchi Chandigarh organized a “Power Drive” in
the city on 18th August led by its Gang of Girls (Mirchi’s team of
spunky female RJs Charu, Aashi and Mehak). This Power Drive involved a large
group of women who rode through Chandigarh making a statement for women’s
safety in the city especially at night.
The rally started from the Sector 7 Market–Madhya
Marg to Housing board 10 PM covering approximately 5 kms. The Chief Guests for
the event were the stars of the new Punjabi movie Rocky Mental–ParmishVerma and
Tannu Kaur Gill.
When asked about the initiative, ParmishVerma
said that this is an issue that is very close to my heart. The safety of women,
especially in this beautiful city of ours, is something we all need to work
together to ensure. He commends Radio Mirchi for taking up the cause of raising
awareness about it.
Tannu Kaur Gill agreed and said that she is
so happy to be able to be a part of this event. Women should feel safe anywhere
and anytime in Chandigarh and we need to raise awareness about this.
On the initiative, Bhanu Pratap Singh Chauhan, Cluster Head , Punjab & HP, Radio Mirchi said
that we were excited to be a part of this initiative of a power drive for women.
At Mirchi we have always strongly supported progressive thinking and consider
women’s safety as a matter of great importance. Through this initiative we want
to convey this message to our lakhs of listeners in and around the tricity
area. We are very happy that so many people came out in support of this event
as it shows how important this is, not just to us at Mirchi, but also to the
people of Chandigarh.
