'Helpline' Dominantly concerned with creating awareness of traffic rules and regulations,
discipline, pollution control, petrol saving, etc., we take up all sorts of complaints and after studying the case guide the complainant accordingly. Besides providing help, we create awareness through the Press.

We are always there to help the Police Department for regulating Traffic Controlling violation of Traffic Rules. Our special task force is always there to help Police and Ganesh Madals at the time of Ganesh Festival and Navaratri Festival.

When the rickshaws went on strike inconveniencing the Puneites, we made sure that they did their part to ease the problems of the public…we arranged our vehicles at various posts in the city where anyone in need of transport had to just give a call.

In December 1998, we organized a live Orchestra performance for the military people in Leh.
Besides all these and more, we help the government during the elections and also invite inspectors to Colleges to create traffic awareness among the youth. There is no membership to this organization…anyone is welcome to join voluntarily. We also believe that work is first priority and so do not expect a person to be present for every issue or cause that we take up. However, although all 250 members are not present at the same time for various issues there are always definitely 50-60 of them to offer help.

 


In the National disaster and in particular the Gujarat Earthquake, our organisation decided to accumulate help and reach it to the needy. Our organisation with its full force of volunteers started collecting all sorts donations in kind from every nook and corner of Pune City. Donations in kind like, cloths, food grains medicines and another household goods. As the word of mouth spread the general public on their own came to our office with the
necessity material. While visiting various societies we just made an announcement on the loudspeaker fixed on our collection van and in no timer the help would start pouring in. The response was overwhelming. It just took us a few days to collect more than two truckloads of material.

For sorting this collected material we got help from FC College Ladies Hostel, Art of Living, Study Circle and other near by society members round the clock.
Besides the general public, we also got material and help from the 'Southern Command' (Military) Pune. It was an honorable moment for us as they placed their faith own our organisation and ask us to take the supplies directly to the needy.

Our two trucks started their journey on 4th Feb. for Morvi (Gujarat) with prior permission from Poona Collector with our team of 15 volunteers. Knowing the gravity of situation our trucks was not stopped at any check post, octrai naka and other border posts by any Govt. agencies whatsoever.

On 6th Feb. we reached Morvi (Gujarat). Earlier we had intimated of our arrival to one of our associate Mr. Jitubhai Mehta, a Press Reporter by profession. He had made survey of nearby villages and town where any sort of help had not reached so far.

One by one we started visiting the villages. We were spelled bound by the devastating damages caused by the earthquake. In most of villages we failed to find a single building structure standing. What we saw was all debris, heaps of soil, stone, wood and house hold goods scattered all over the place.

As soon as we reached a village we used to meet the head of the village and ask him to enlighten us of the situation prevailing in that place. According to their needs, we used to unload our trucks and hand it over to him for distribution to the villagers.

The villages we visited were Moti Barar, Chaspar, Navagram, Piplia, Malia and others. While covering all this area one astonishing fact we saw was none of the Idols in the temples were damaged. Secondly we found the villagers all staying together in the tents made by themselves in the open like one single joint family. All the barriers of Cast and Creeds, Rich and Poor, Hindus and Muslims was not to be found. We think this is a plus point because of which they stood the test of time and fought the natural calamity bravely. It might be
because no Politician and Political Party volunteers had reached them before us.



During the Rickshaw Strike, we at Helpline For You have tried to help the maximum needy travelers that we came across. We had tremendous response to our press note. We arranged transportation for approx. 3500 persons, comprising of cases of emergencies, like hospitalisation and reaching Bus or Railway Station etc. For the services rendered we did not accept any gifts or donations readily offered by the public. For the emergency we had a solid strong force of 100 volunteers with motor bikes or cars.

Our services were very much appreciated by General Public, Police Dept., Grahak Panchayat and many others. Famous personalities like Ms. Ashalata Naik had called on us.

From last few years Pakistan is supporting terrorist activities in India. They have started proxy war against us. They have tortured our soldiers taken as prisoners of war against all International agreements and their mutilated bodies were handed over to us. This is what happened in the recent Kargil invasion.

On 19th June 1999, at 11:00 AM our organisation made a Public Protested against Pakistan. We took a procession to Alka Chowk and burnt a dummy of the Pakistan Leader. Simultaneously a strong protest letter has been faxed to Pakistan Embassy.
We support our brave soldiers whole-heartedly. We appeal to the Government not to rest till the enemy is driven back to LOC and teach them a good lesson to be remembered in the future.

Now a days traffic in the main problem. The carelessness in driving causes accidents, pollution, and gives rise to medical & health problems. Our many volunteers are Traffic Warden and we help the police to regulate traffic as and when required we are there. We are always there at the time of big occasions, festivals, election or on some special day.

There was this Ex. Employee of a highly reputed company who went about swindling people using the company’s name. He was offering a Job in the company with 15-20 thousand amount in cash. We cross checked with the company and on realizing that he was a con man, wrote about the same in the newspapers to warn the public and helped the police to arrest him.

There was a cheating case done by a representative of Bank Staff. This staff member of bank is daily collection agent for a good reputated bank. He collected the cash but not deposited in the bank. We have followed up bank to get back that cash to concerned person.



We welcomed all the Passengers of our hijacked plane.
We can imagine the joy and happiness of their relatives and friends, who will receive them in the New Year with almost a new lease of life. We join them in this moment of their happiness.

But the sad thing is that we are going to release three hard core terrorists as per the decision taken by the Indian Government after negotiating with the hijackers.
It is really very sad that a strong and powerful nation like India has succumbed to some inappropriate demands of the hijackers. We feel this will aggravate and encourage further such incidents in the years to come. Hope the government could have solved the problem by some other means but anyway they are the best Judge at this moment.

Hope this particular incident will make our government more alert towards the inhuman activities of our neibours. The positive side of the whole side is the stand taken by Pakistan and the Afghan regime or to be more specific the Talibans. They now stand more exposed before the whole world as regards to their ways and means of takling the political situation in Kashmir.
