Bhubaneswar: Young Indians (YI), Balasore Chapter, in collaboration with Balasore Police, proudly unveiled three impactful road safety campaigns today—Chota Cop, Farishtey Responders and Farishtey Awareness at Balasore Zilla Mohatsav & Pallishree Mela. The campaigns aim to foster responsible road behaviour and enhance community awareness towards road safety.
Balasore Police in coordination with YI aims to reach to more than 10,000 children within the next couple of months, designating each one of them as a “Chota Cop” with a long term vision of raising road-ready responsible adults of tomorrow.
For this special in-school awareness sessions and interaction of children with police personnel will be conducted with dual benefits of raising road safety awareness as well as creating people-friendly policing.
The event was graced by Himanshu Lal, IGP Eastern Range, Odisha Police; Dattatraya Bhausaheb Shinde, Collector and District Magistrate and Sagarika Nath, SP Balasore.
Lal praised the initiatives of Young Indians, expressing his commitment to providing unwavering support from the police department. The collaboration between Young Indians and Balasore Police exemplifies a joint effort to address and mitigate road safety challenges in the region.
Chota Cop focuses on educating children about road safety rules, empowering them to become advocates for safe practices within their communities. Farishtey responders train volunteers to offer immediate assistance in the event of road accidents, contributing to faster response times and potentially saving lives. Farishtey Awareness, a community-driven initiative, seeks to spread awareness about responsible road behaviour through various outreach programs.
Young Indians, Balasore Chapter, remains dedicated to fostering social responsibility and community development. The collaboration with local authorities and the support of community members namely Pankaj Agrawal, Mohit Poddar, Sekhar Singhania with their team is anticipated to create a safer and more responsible road environment.
