On Sunday 15 May, Pahal Welfare Foundation and the Gautam Buddha Nagar traffic police ran a joint awareness campaign in Greater Noida West, making people aware of traffic rules.
Hundreds of members of the foundation, along with the traffic police, briefed drivers at Gaur Chowk in Greater Noida West on the rules of the road, and explained the use and usefulness of helmets and seat belts while driving.
Foundation president D.K. Singh said Pahal had made a plan with Traffic DCP Ganesh Prasad Sah to organise traffic-awareness campaigns in every area of Gautam Buddha Nagar, under which street plays (nukkad natak) and traffic-awareness programmes would be held at various locations.
Giving detailed information on the rules, Rakesh Yadav of the Gautam Buddha Nagar traffic police team said guardians should not let children under 18 drive two- or four-wheelers; every driver above 18 must wear a helmet and seat belt, carry all the vehicle's documents, and not drive at speed so that neither the driver nor others are put in danger.
Traffic Inspector C.P. Mishra, Ashutosh Singh and Shailendra Kushwaha administered the oath of traffic rules to all the volunteer members present and made them aware of road safety. They added that the leading causes of accidents are not following traffic rules and driving unsafely — which is why every person must follow the rules.
Around 1,000 saplings were planted at 12 locations across the district, part of a drive spanning Aligarh, Bulandshahr, Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddha Nagar — with school children planting alongside our volunteers.
From 20 to 23 July 2025 at Salempur on the national highway in Bulandshahr, thousands of devotees were hosted with rest, food and a doctors' team through the Sawan kavad yatra.
As every year, the foundation distributed blankets across Greater Noida from the first day of January — in jhuggi settlements, to temple priests, roadside labourers and vendors.
