Indian network Red FM, is taking its show Mid Night Masala, which is hosted by RJ Heena, to nine new cities in with a campaign to make the country’s streets safer for women.

These cities include Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad, Nagpur, Indore, Bhopal, Varanasi, Jaipur, and Jabalpur. The show aims to focus on women safety at night with its campaign ‘Heena Karegi Sabki Lights On’.

It will stress the need to have proper and adequate street lighting to avoid cases of women molestation and  teasing at odd hours.

RJ Heena will urge listeners to identify the darkest streets in their cities for three days in a bid to draw the attention of the authorities towards the state of affairs in the city.

Nisha Narayanan, COO Red FM commented: “With increasing incidents of eve-teasing, robbery, and molestation against women during the night, we want to highlight the need to have proper lighting on the streets and get authorities to improve the current situation.”

 Dedicated to ensuring safety for women, Red FM will ask listeners to keep the streets lit up with Baraati lights, mobile flashlights, torch lights by security guards or bike headlights by biking groups during these odd hours. So, listeners, this Diwali let’s just not light the city for a day rather pledge to ensure the safety of women all 365 days of the year.
