94.3 MY FM organized its second edition of “My Helmet Club – Season II” with RJ Animesh in Raipur recently. After the huge success of “My Helmet Club-Season I”, 94.3 MY FM in association with Dainik Bhaskar & Raipur City Traffic Police once again took the initiative to spread awareness among the people to wear helmet & follow traffic rules to avoid accidents. This journey of “My Helmet Club” started two years ago and today State Govt. has also made it mandatory for all 2 wheeler drivers to wear helmet.

Mayor Raipur - Dr Kiranmayi Nayak, renowned educationist - Dr Jawahar Suresetti, Chattisgarh’s superstar & PadmaShri - Shri Anuj Sharma, Director - Hira Group - Shri Vinod Pillai, Registrar - ITM University - Prof Vyas and Vice Chancellor - ITM University- Dr T Dayakara Rao were among the others who graced the event by their presence. Five especially deputed Raipur Traffic Police on their Official Bullet also covered the rally.  All the bikers who participated in the Rally were felicitated with the pledge certificate. Airtel; Hero, Honda, TVS, GK TMT, Nakoda TMT, Hira Group, Royal Enfield, Idea and Future Group were the corporates who joined “My Helmet Club”. The impact was such that Raipur Traffic Police organized a similar rally in association with MY FM which saw Chhattisgarh CM Mr. Raman Singh riding a two wheeler and promoting the cause by wearing a helmet.

Commenting on this safety initiative, Mr. Harrish M. Bhatia, CEO, 94.3 MY FM said “About 250 people die in road accidents in India every day, majority of deaths are due to Head Injuries. 54% of who died could have reached home safely if they wore a “Helmet”. We as a responsible media house take this initiative very seriously to educate the masses about the safety of Helmet. RJ Animesh along Raipur Traffic Police has done a commendable job of spreading the message and creating awareness for responsible driving.”
