Raise your voice, Be an active citizen and win a Movie Ticket

So no auto-wallah wants to go where you want to, the noise-pollution in your neighbourhood gets more unbearable each day and the stray-dogs that you are afraid of. Traffic, you don’t want to discus it, do you? There are many issues that all of us encounter everyday, and we think what can we do to resolve them. Well all you need to do is start, raise your voice and let people know that you care about your locality, your neighbourhood.

At Osutra, we are always thinking of how to enrich the life of our users  and therefore we have launched an #issues section where you can raise local issues that matter the most to you. Share your local issues with world, get your neighbours and friends to join you in your crusade and see how you can eradicate them with the help of your neighbours.f

Apart from solving those issues, you can also win movie tickets. We will be running Don’t be a Pappu campaign for the next seven days and everyday one of the users who raises an important issue will stand to win couple movie tickets.

So what are you waiting for? Speak up. Its your right.
