This is important read –
For Girls – It obviously makes sense for them to know their rights.
For Boys - It can help them protect their wives, friends, sisters and mothers
An incident took place in Pune - a young girl was attacked by a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her 2 come 2 the police station when she & her male friend didn't have a driver's license 2 show. He sent the boy off 2 get his license and asked the girl to accompany him to the police station. Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed. The law [which most of us are not aware of] clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am (from sunset until sunrise), a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6pm and 6am, if and ONLY iff she is arrested by a woman officer & taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest.
Note: Read National Human Rights Commission Report for elaborate details.

Switch off on 28th March!

lets do this, switching off the lights on 28th March for one hour between 8.30 p.m to 9.30 P.m.
This is required, if the entire world can take some proactive measures to for this cause, then why can't we?
I know a lot of us are thinking about the inconvenience of doing this but we have to be the change that we want to see. Imagine if everyone co-operates in this movement then, so much of power is saved in an single hour. I am sure each of us know the benefits of saving power, I need to mention it over here and sound it as a lecturer.
So guys, be it your fav reality show or the match, or some business news, or your daily soaps on your TV, please sacrifice this one hour for the cause and switch off the lights!
Just for an hour!!!!!
Cheers,
J
