Officials use high‑footfall Metro spaces to deliver women’s safety messaging with TB outreach grounded in recent Ni‑kshay data.

Overview

  • The month‑long drive started at Sultanpur Metro Station and will run from December 10 to January 10 across selected trains and stations.
  • Displays highlight women’s safety, mental health support, digital inclusion, and awareness of the PC‑PNDT Act, urging people not to seek fetal sex determination.
  • The effort advances the TB Mukt Abhiyaan with a planned Jan Andolan in Delhi to accelerate screening and case finding.
  • According to Ni‑kshay data cited by the ministry, Delhi recorded 98,309 TB cases from January to October 2025, with nearly 8.78 lakh people screened and about 3.8 lakh chest X‑rays conducted.
  • WHO South‑East Asia’s Catharina Boehme publicly backed the campaign, noting its launch as the 16 Days of Activism against Gender‑Based Violence concluded.
