Doctors as Humans
Afew years ago, I was on a return flight from New Delhi to Paris and New York, when the chief flight attendant suddenly broke up the humming silence and asked passengers to ring the call bell if anyone was a doctor.
The Delhi Police, Delhi Traffic Police and the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), in partnership with Raahgiri Foundation, will be organising ‘Raahgiri Day’ on Sunday (November 26) at Inner Circle, Connaught Place from 7 to 10 am.
The objective of the ‘Raahgiri Day’ is to redefine the streets making them accessible to all, especially pedestrians, ensuing their safety and sustainability.
Entry of motorised vehicles will be strictly prohibited on the ‘Raahgiri Day’ with the entire circuit of the inner circle becoming an exclusively pedestrian and cyclist zone. The objective of the event is to create a platform for healthy mobility thereby giving them an opportunity to reclaim streets, which are otherwise occupied by motorised vehicles.
