6,000 schoolgirls take part in Delhi Police self-defence camp
Apart from the self-defence training, nukkad natak, gender sensitisation programmes and lectures on awareness about new laws were also conducted across the ten venues.
Delhi Police, Delhi Traffic Police and the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), in partnership with Raahgiri Foundation, the YP Foundation and Nagarro will be organising ‘Raahgiri Day’ on September 24 at Inner Circle, Connaught Place from 7 am to 10 am.
The objective behind organising ‘Raahgiri Day’ is to redefine streets and to make them safe, sustainable, and accessible to all. On the occasion of ‘Raahgiri Day’, entry of motorised vehicles will be prohibited and the entire circuit of the inner circle will be made exclusive for pedestrians and cyclists so as to create a platform for healthy mobility thereby giving them an opportunity to reclaim streets, which are otherwise occupied by motorised vehicles.
With focus on seamless entertainment and holistic well-being, ‘Raahgiri Day’ has been lined up with a whole lot of activities such as puppet shows, yoga and zumba sessions, flash mob, dance, road safety awareness activities, nukkad nataks and pep-talk sessions.
