BIG FM urges people to care for their Bengaluru

August 1, 2008

BIG 92.7 FM Bangalore recently initiated a new campaign to connect with its listeners and trash out the issues faced by a common Bangalorean. Aptly titled ‘Bendethu Bengaluru’ this 2 week long campaign addressed one major issue everyday starting from 7th July and went on till the 19th of July. This was an opportunity for the residents of the city to speak up and discuss issues ranging from bribery & traffic problems to public hygiene and the likes.

As a continuation of this campaign, BIG FM conducted an awareness activity on Public Hygiene at BDA complex in Koramangala on 16th July and covered other parts of the city during the day. It is basically to create awareness among the public on how to keep themselves and their surroundings clean.

RJ Harsha & RJ Shruthi were present during this activity and educated the public on how to keep our surroundings clean while giving away goodies.

Speaking on this occasion, RJ Shruthi said, “Like the popular quote – Charity begins at home; we Rj’s at BIG FM have started implement various simple methods of contributing towards the betterment of namma Bengaluru before we start preaching about it on air. Hope we get support from our listeners and residents of the city to make Bengaluru a clean & green city again”
