Awareness programmes held on World Deaf Day - Times Of India

A number of social and voluntary organisations, working for the rights of deaf people and spreading awareness about the hazards of noise pollution, held several programmes to mark the World Deaf Day (WDD) on Saturday.

A number of deaf and dumb children belonging to Varanasi Badhir Society (Bhelupur), BCG School For Deaf (Choti Gaibi), Nav Vani Vidyalaya (Harahua) and Deaf Friendship Club (Kirahiya) participated in a rally to spread awareness about preventing noise pollution and protecting the rights of deaf people.

The rally began from Luxa police station and passed through Gurubagh, Rathyatra and Sigra crossings before culminating at Shahid Udyan in the city. Local BJP MLA Shyamdeo Roy Choudhary flagged off the rally and mayor Kaushlendra Singh was present when the rally culminated at Shahid Udyan.

Earlier, the Satya Foundation organised a programme in Lallapura area to raise awareness about hazards of noise pollution which can cause deafness in people on the eve of WDD on Friday.
