The Minister advised vehicle users to wear helmets, fasten seat belts and strictly follow traffic regulations to minimise accidents. He reiterated that the primary aim of the campaign was to instil awareness among the public about road safety and reduce fatalities caused by negligence on roads.

District Superintendent of Police Dr G. Janaki Sharmila, Nirmal Additional Superintendent of Police Sai Kiran, along with police officers, staff and members of the public, participated in the awareness programme.
