Mumbai: As part of its efforts to reach out
to more people, the anti-corruption movement led by Anna
Hazare has introduced an SMS card which will provide
subscribers with round the year updates about the campaign.
"We have procured one crore cards, each priced at Rs 20
and activists of India Against Corruption are distributing
them among people," Hazare`s associate Datta Awari told PTI
from Ralegan Siddhi.
The SMS card will ensure that the holders are informed
about the Hazare-led campaign`s activities for a year, Awari
said.
"The users have to SMS the serial number of the scratch
card, to 9223334545 and they will be given regular updates on
our programmes throughout the year, in Hindi and English," he
said.
The cards have been sent to Delhi and Chennai from where
they will be distributed to other parts. We are not going to
make any profit out of selling or distributing these cards,
Awari said.
In Ralegan Siddhi, the distribution started on April 7,
he added.
