It has been proved that road accidents claim the maximum lives throughout the world. And most of those who die are young. Prominent among these is drunk driving.
Effort has been on in the Capital to raise awareness about it for long. And now, a street play is being organised about the same.
The street play, Ahavan, is being staged at Quo Vadis 2012 — the annual festival of the International Institute of Foreign Trade. It is being organised by a beer company in management colleges across India.
With the theme of spreading responsible drinking culture and also awareness about HIV/AIDS among the youth, it has invited theatre participants from colleges in Delhi University like Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology (IGIT), Shivaji College, Aditya College, Popular theatre group (comprising all ex-Delhi University students), IIFT Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Management Development Institute (MDI), Institute of Management Technology (IMT), Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH).
