On May 25, all of Gurugram's main multiplex chains agreed to help raise voter awareness. ADC also requested that all representatives establish selfie spots and voter awareness standees in their respective locations.
The meeting was attended by Gaurav Singh, Additional CEO of the Haryana CSR Trust, Bijendra Kumar, District Information and Public Relations Officer, and officials from multiplex chains such as PVR, Inox, Cinepolis, Wave, Mirage, and Cinelive.
