Friends,
Tablers of BRT 7 and Circlers of Ladies Circle 19 got together and did a fantastic Publicity Event Project by honoring the Bangalore City Police and recognizing their efforts in keeping the Bangalore City Safe and Secure to Live in…
Policemen are generally never recognized for their brilliant efforts except for the Govt Awards.
But Recognition by the Tablers and Public definitely makes a difference to them as they get to know what people think and care about them too.
