As you are well aware that the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill 2017 which was passed in the Lok Sabha, is most likely to be brought up in the Rajya Sabha in the upcoming monsoon session commencing on July 17th. To continue our movement for the passage of the Bill, we have joined hands with SaveLife in starting 2 campaigns on behalf of the COLORS alliance.
1. A campaign via the roadsafetyatrisk.in website where we are asking people to write to the Rajya Sabha MPs to pass the Bill. On behalf of the COLORS alliance, a similar exercise was done earlier asking people to write to the Prime Minister. There was an overwhelming response to the same, and the Prime Minister in his Mann Ki Baat had mentioned that he received a number of letters regarding improving road safety.
The same website has been tweaked to get people to send letters to the Rajya Sabha MPs. Since this will be a COLORS initiative, Arundhati Foundation’s logo is displayed on the website along with the other partners.
2. To draw further attention, 4 billboards around the Parliament area will have messages focusing on the issue and reminding the Parliament to pass the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill 2017. Here are a few pics.
A small effort through our COLORS coalition, and thanks to Saji Cherian ( SaveLife ) for driving it.
Do extend your support.
