Rajeev Pratap Rudy, Member of Parliament & Secretary (Administration), Constitution Club of India said, “The 2nd edition of the JK Tyre CCI Car Rally for MPs presented by Aircel was a phenomenal success. The presence of media, volunteers of Save Our Tiger NGO, members of the Parliament and Diplomats have come together and accomplished a campaign which is going have an extraordinary impact on the country and internationally as well. The Campaign has emerged as a phenomenon.
As the pioneers of Indian motorsports, JK Tyre has always worked towards spreading social awareness through motorsports. The rally in its second edition supported the cause of saving our Tigers which is the call of the hour.
The Rally travelled through various parts of the city, making for a fun-filled day of rallying for the luminaries, a welcome for break from their otherwise hectic lives, and yet lent support to an important cause.
Rahul Saighal, Chief Marketing Officer, Aircel said, “This initiative is in line with our continued commitment to Save Our Tigers. We are privileged to partner with Constitution Club of India for the MPs Car Rally to raise Public consciousness about Tiger conservation.”
From around 40,000 at the turn of the last century, there are very few wild tigers left in India today. Illegal poaching of tigers and destruction of their habitats are among the biggest challenges faced in the fight to Save Our Tigers, and JK Tyre, Aircel and the Constitution Club of India have come together to create further awareness on this cause.
