Distributes first lots of helmets to two-wheeler riding women and pillions for enhancing their safety on roads
Mool Chand Sharma, Hon’ble Cabinet Minister of Transport, Mines and Geology, Skill Development & Industrial Training and Election, Government of Haryana formally rolled out Chetak Foundation Zindagi Plus Road Safety initiatives, today. The Minister distributed the first lots of helmets to the two-wheeler riding women, girls and pillions to enhance their safety on the road, at an event held in Faridabad, in NCR, today.
Chetak Foundation’s Zindagi Plus initiative will distribute over 1000 helmets to the two-wheeler riders in the first phase of its Road Safety initiative. It may be noted that Indian roads continue to see millions of road accidents and thousands of fatalities, many of them two-wheeler riders. Chetak Foundation, CSR arm of Chetak Group, the leader in Automotive Logistics in India, has thus decided to address this grave area of concern.
Speaking on the occasion, Hon’ble Cabinet Minister Shri Mool Chand Sharma said, “We are glad to note that Chetak Foundation has come forward to support the government’s efforts enhancing safety on roads by distributing helmets to two-wheeler riders. It is heartening to begin the noble campaign with women, as it will not only ensure their safety, it will also lead to women’s empowerment. We hope many more corporates and foundations to join hands in such a noteworthy initiative.”
Shri Sachin Haritash, Board member, Chetak Foundation said, “Chetak Foundation has been set up to make a positive impact on the lives of underprivileged communities, in line with the vision of our founder late Shri J K Sharma Ji. We are honoured that the Hon’ble Minister has blessed our initiative to personally distribute the first set of helmets of two-wheeler riders. We are thankful to the progressive and proactive minister and his gesture will certainly encourage us to work with even greater vigour. We strong urge two-wheeler riders to always wear helmets for a Secure Zindagi”
