“According to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Data on Road Accident Deaths for the year 2021, the city reported 1373 cases due to accidents on the road. Keeping this in mind and to create more awareness towards road safety, the organisers of the upcoming Season 2 of RSWS have decided to open the gates of Green Park Stadium, venue for the opening leg of the tournament, to the student community at no cost,” said an official release.

As responsible citizens, it is our constant endeavour to drive this awareness through the most loved game and attract the attention of the next generation. When legends of the sport converge together for a common cause, we took a collective decision to take this initiative for the sake of our children who can then spread this message in their own neighbourhood and communities and go on to become responsible citizens of this country.”
