Radio City, India\u2019s leading radio network, launched #MeraGhata, a campaign to create awareness about traffic rules and address the issues of underage driving, drunk driving and jay walking in the national capital region, Delhi. The voice of Delhi, Radio City\u2019s RJ Ginnie took up the role of being the \u2018Driver of Change\u2019 for this campaign and on her popular morning show, \u2018Suno Na Dilli\u2019 7 to 11am, Monday to Saturday, encouraging listeners to consciously stop flouting traffic rules. The campaign, in association with Delhi Traffic Authority\/Police, is a right blend of satire, humour and facts. #MeraGhata, a three-week-long campaign which started on 3rd December, will manifest itself on-air, on-ground and on digital platforms. Led by RJ Ginnie, along with other Radio City representatives, this campaign will bring about a sense of self-realisation amongst the Delhiites and influence a positive change in the society.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the launch of the campaign, Kartik Kalla, Chief Creative Officer, Radio City said, \u201cRadio has the power and reach to influence mindsets at large and Radio City, has always strived to resolve the issues the citizens struggle with. Since we are all equally guilty of breaking traffic rules, the idea behind the campaign is to encourage Delhiites to take onus of our actions. The song chosen for the campaign is immensely popular amongst the listeners and thus, we chose to take a digital route that resonates best with them. We are optimistic that we will be able to bring about a significant difference in building better civic sense and social responsibility among the people of Delhi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Expressing her thoughts on leading this drive, popular Radio City RJ Ginnie said, \u201cI believe Radio and its role is constantly evolving in today\u2019s day and age. It is no longer limited to just music and fun \u2013 it is also a great influencer in highlighting daily problems and social issues in such a manner that it stays with the listener. Traffic is one of the biggest problems of Delhi and the fact is that each one of us is equally responsible for the mess. Whether it is giving keys to underage children, not following road rules, not using foot-over bridges and subways, we\u2019re all guilty of it. It is imperative that all of us unanimously make an effort to bring about a change and make Delhi better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Singer Gajendra Verma of Tera Ghata fame which served as the inspiration for the name of this campaign, said, \u201cIt is an honour that my song is lending itself to such an important cause and I hope people start becoming more responsible citizens when it comes to following road traffic rules. I support RJ Ginnie and Radio City for this initiative. Drunk driving, jay walking and under age driving – the three main aspects Radio City\u2019s #MeraGhata campaign seeks to redress – have severe consequences that most of us do not realise.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to, Alok Kumar, Joint CP Traffic, Traffic Commissioner of Delhi, \u201cAs many as 35,598 challans have been issued for drunken driving until 30th November 2018 and more than 20,000 vehicles have been impounded. With this influential campaign, Radio City continues to amplify and highlight important issues plaguing our societies, made possible due to the channel\u2019s understanding of the pulse of the city. These initiatives further amplify its philosophy of \u2018Rag Rag Mein Daude City\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
