She lost her beloved grandfather in a road accident in 2020 and the incident made her determined to save others from meeting the same fate. A young woman named Khushi from Lucknow in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has taken up the job of providing free red lights to cyclists on streets so that they could be spotted by vehicles in the dark and accidents can be avoided.
Khushi’s grandfather died when a car hit his bicycle after its driver failed to see him.
