Hi
A
Very Happy Independence Day to you!
You
may be enjoying a much needed relaxing weekend on this day or availing the
“Independence Day Offer” discounts in the markets.
We
are happy to provide a very valuable “Independence Day Offer” to you. In this
offer, we are promising you safe roads. Yes, the same roads you drive on every
day but safer than before. And we are not asking for any money (though if you
want to donate some that would be great).
All
we are asking from you is that you take a minute to report any traffic
violations you see on the road. We are trying to provide “extra” eyes and hands
to a society that is so much in need of self discipline. These eyes and hands
are yours. To quote Mahatama Gandhi on this occasion –
“You must be the change you wish to see in the
world."
On 8 June
2010, ToI reported that India is the
world’s Road Death capital with 1,18,000 fatalities in 2008.
Your participation in reporting traffic violations from your cities would awaken
the administration and truly be indicative of participative democracy. With that
we hope to bring down this dubious distinction from the
country.
On
our 64th Independence Day, let’s take one responsibility for the nation we all
love. Let's make our roads safer.
Jai
Hind
