Put Ice in Your Mobile!

 Indeed. The concept of ICE is being promoted in Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali and we do hope that other cities would also follow suit. 
Parents should feed the ICE number in the mobile numbers carried by their children. 
They can feed the ICE number in the mobile phones carried by elderly, who may faint outside their homes in a park or on road, or may just forget their address. If they are carrying the mobile number at least someone can contact the right person. 
Just a few days back I found a 50-year old, fully drunk, lying on the road. There were people around and one of them trying to locate the number on which to call. And it was a big struggle since most people have 100s and 1000s of contact numbers in their mobile phones and to identify the right person quickly is often a challenge. Had there been ICE number added in the mobile, it would have been much easier. 
So just put it in your Mobile. Today. Now!

It's been a proud moment today when two Rotaractors of our Rotaract Club of Chandigarh, were flagged off by Past Rotary International President Rajendra K. Saboo from Hans Raj Public School, Panchkula, where the District RYLA also culminated, for their 8000kms round-trip across the country to engage people in Rotary's fight against polio.
Rtr. Gaurav Gupta is final year engineering student of UIET, Panjab University pursuing BioTechnology and Rtr. Deepak Sharma is a first year BA student of DAV College, Chandigarh.

These 'Polio Warriors' left today for Delhi in the afternoon, and on the way were received warmly by the Rotarians of Derabassi. They have safely reached Delhi tonight.
Tomorrow morning they will be flagged off from Delhi and via Agra they would rest for the night at Kanpur on Day 2.
