Hyderabad: A two-day massive awareness and counselling programme on HIV/AIDS is planned in the city as the Red Ribbon Express train arrives here on Saturday.
Nearly 192 slums in the city will be covered on May 17 and 18 and at 48 places cultural programmes will be presented focussing on the issue.
The RRE will be stationed at the Secunderabad Railway Station on platform 10. Both cricket and cine celebrities are being roped in to highlight the issue, said H. Venkat Rao, district youth officer, Nehru Yuva Kendra.
He told presspersons here on Wednesday that during the two days, adults would be sensitised to the dreaded disease and told to practice safe sex.

The RRE will also touch Kurnool, Nellore and Chittoor before entering Tamil Nadu.
