Tehri: The sight of a large pack of bikers is not new to Uttarakhand's Mussoorie-Dehradun road, but it's not every day that leather jackets and polished chrome are paired with the cause of women empowerment.
This weekend, about 150 motorcyclists, calling themselves Brotherhood Bikers, charged down the sun-soaked scenic hill road along Kempty Falls stopping at villages spreading messages of gender awareness.
Halting at about six villages, the bikers campaigned for government programmes like Save the Girl Child and 'Beti Bachao,Beti Padhao'.
For the cause, the bikers were brought together by Dehradun-based non-governmental organisation Saheli which works for women empowerment in the city and surrounding areas.
"The issue is close to our heart. That's why we have come out here together in such large numbers to spread awareness," one of the bikers, S K Singh, said.
