months in Faridabad. The event was successfully organised by Confederation
of Residents Welfare Associations, Faridabad.



Amid much fanfare and enthusiasm, men,women, kids gathered at Sector-12
Sports Complex for the event.



The event started with people dancing to foot tapping music followed by a
number of exercises, which help boost energy.



Various events were held to encourage people to use non-motorized vehicles,
public vehicles, helmets and make people aware of road safety measures.



People were also encouraged to start walking, cycling and planting more
trees for a healthy living with different events.



A group named Sanskar Bharti Group, presented plays aimed at promoting
environment or greenery. A second group named Nukkad Natak from Aggrawal
College presented street plays highlighting different forms of violence
against women such as female foeticide, rape, eve teasing, etc. The group
