During the ralley, DJJS skit team enacted a street play at the interval of every kilometer to give a detailed clarity on how the devil of drug is spreading its bloody wings to swallow the lives of people.
In order to add flavor and attract people towards the subject of the event, a scene of ‘Yama and his four horses’ was enacted by the volunteers to demonstrate how Yama; the lord of death has sent four of his demon horses to earth in the form of Alcohol, Smoking, Drugs and tobacco, in order to gulp down the lives of consumers.
Small children holding a pyre, with a cigarette laid on the top, attracted the eye of the onlookers the most, which we attempted in motivating people to take out the last journey of cigarette from their lives and say good bye to it forever.
They also motivated people to give up their lighters, match sticks, cigarette packets, Bidis, Khaini, Pan Masala, Hukka etc and encouraged them to resolve this Diwali not to consume these life-sucking products throughout their lives again.
