“World No Tobacco Day- WNTD (31st May)” was observed today at SQ Station. It is a day intended to encourage a 24-hour period of abstinence from all forms of tobacco consumption all around the globe. The day is further intended to draw attention to the widespread prevalence of tobacco use and to negative health effects. We are happy to be part of this noble initiative. In order to mark the importance of the day and raise awareness, the whole SQ campus was decorated with banners, posters and installation art containing message to discourage consumption of tobacco in all forms. The smoking zone was particularly decorated with anti-smoking props. The event was formally inaugurated at 12:00 PM bythe graceful presence the top management.

Since most of our employees are women and part of them consume raw tobacco with betel leaf, a performance art and a bioscope show was organized prior to lunch to raise awareness on the negative impact of tobacco. Being communicable, interactive and entertaining, the performance art and bioscope show received huge applause from the employees and all.  In essence, it was a day well spent with awareness and commitment.
