Organised on the occasion of International Women's Day, the rally was flagged off by Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi in the presence of senior officials from Honda.

"It is our strong belief that strong and empowered women are the backbone of flourishing societies," said Yadvinder S. Guleria, vice president, Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

"We want to permeate the message of road safety among women riders by encouraging the use of helmet while riding two-wheelers."
