Chennai: Garbed in windcheaters and carrying darkish shades, 15 city techies, maximum of them of their overdue 20s, fixed their Royal Enfields and Harleys on Thursday to coast around three,000km within the state. Their venture: To seize eyeballs with their beasts. Their message: To treat women with dignity. Their taskmasters: The state executive.

Over the course of the following 24 days, the bikers will travel through 12 districts within the state that see prime crime incidence in opposition to women and girls. V Amuthvalli, director of social welfare department stated, those districts had been identified according to incidence of kid marriage, college dropout rates and deficient health indicators. Some of the districts include Ariyalur, Perambalur, Dharmapuri, Salem, Trichy and Kancheepuram. She stated the dept’s field-level officers felt males are often at midnight about rules and welfare programmes for ladies. “We discuss gender equality, but maximum of our programmes are for and by women. It’s time we trained our males,” she stated. The rally was once inaugurated by social welfare minister V Saroja on Thursday.
Kaushik Murthy, founder of Your BHP Motoring club, whose staff might be visiting identified executive and private faculties, stated, the method won’t be mere distribution of pamphlets.
