A polio-affected person, Arabind started his journey by his tricycle from Puri to Jammu & Kashmir to convince people to save girl children for the betterment of the society.
Banners with slogans like “Save girls, save India”, “Donate blood” and “Switch off mobile while driving” have been pasted on his tricycle. He reached Nimapara on March 9. He moved through nook and corner of Nimapara.
Earlier, he had made a 7.5-year journey from Puri to Goa creating awareness on a polio-free nation.
“I am physically-disabled but not mentally. I will keep creating awareness on various issues in coming days,” he said.
