Flash Mobs at Select Citywalk Mall, Saket - 28th April 2013

In the wake of recent unfortunate incident of rape of 5 yrs old girl child in Delhi, CRY is striving to track and fix the issues related to protection of girl child, particularly the issue of missing children.

To express their concern on the issues of missing children and protection of girl child, CRY Delhi Volunteers conducted an awareness campaign at Select Citywalk Mall, Saket, on 28th April 2013. The campaign comprised of two performances of flash mob, one at 4:30 pm and another at 5:15 pm. The novel medium of flash mob helped volunteers reach out to almost all patrons of mall who witnessed the event. Audience's support for the cause and appreciation for the campaign could be easily sensed from following:
  • In both the performances audience joined the volunteers performing flash mob.
  • Mall's patrons gathered densely around the atrium (the MAC Atrium), across the three floors of the mall, to watch the event.
  • Both the performances ended with huge round of applause by audience.


Seeing the interest and support of the public, volunteers realized that their objective of making people aware of the issues and individual's responsibilities towards resolving them got fulfilled.

Flash Mobs at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj - 14th April 2013

14th April 2013 - CRY Delhi volunteers performed flash mobs on themes "Child Labor" and "Issues Faced By Girl Child", at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj. Purpose of the flash mobs was to make public aware of prevailing child labor and issues faced by girl child. Moreover, they were intended to make public aware of individual's responsibilities towards resolving those issues. Overall there were two performances, one at 4 pm and another at 5 pm. The two spectacular performances caught attention of almost all mall's patrons who witnessed them and thereby helped convey volunteers' messages easily.


Here is what Shray Bhatnagar, a CRY Delhi volunteer who shot the video, has to say - “The Flash mob was well planned, got executed really well. Our message was loud and clear and we did reach out to the masses. I can’t resist from telling you guys that after our performance there were chants of 'Good Work' and 'Nice theme' from the crowd while I was shooting you from different angles”
