Saturday, 14th January - The closing ceremony for the event was attended mainly by the family members of the Thane Traffic Police. RED FM’s RJ Malishka interacted with the crowd and was also facilitated at the event. As part of her speech, she introduced the Marathi show – “Chala Hawa Yevu De” which will dedicate an entire episode to the Thane Traffic Police.
In an effort to improve the environment that we live in, Red FM has been known to associate itself with campaigns such as the Road Safety Week which strive to make our society better. The RJs at RED FM feel for such issues and strive to do their bit to better the situation.
