Dear Friends at Sustran,
Thank you for this message that we have just received and for your 
offer of help. 
However, what we need right now is pressure on multinational 
companies who are selling diesel cars in India and refusing to 
accept the health implications of their action. We need a targetted 
and focussed international campaign on these companies. The 
names are as follows:
a. General Motors
b. Ford motors;
c. Mitsubishi 
d. Toyota 
e. Mercedes Benz.
f. Hyundai
We have done a detailed article on these companies in the latest 
issue of our magazine and this is available on our website. The 
article is called, Merchants of Menace. 
We have the following suggestions of the kind of action we could 
organise together:
a. we could find the email addresses of the Indian CEO's of these 
companies and send them to the network. If you could send 
messages to these people in adequate numbers if would certainly 
help;
b. we could also send messages to the Presidents of these 
companies where their headquarters are based. We would have to 
find these names and numbers but I am sure that is possible;
c. we would be happy to find the email numbers of all Indian 
government officials and send these to you. But remember that 
these officials do not access emails in most cases and are less 
susceptible to public pressure from abroad. We have already 
energised eminent people in India to write to the Indian PM on this 
issue. 
Please let us know if these ideas are of interest to the network and 
if you need us to prepare a basic draft of the message to be sent.
We would be grateful for all help at this moment.
With best wishes,
Sandhya, Sunita, Anumita
