The initiative serves as a crucial reminder that public roads must remain safe for all citizens.

Owners have been advised to verify that driving licenses, and all vehicle related documents are readily available before heading out. All two-wheeler riders and pillion passengers are reminded that wearing approved protective helmets is a legal obligation, just as the use of seat belts is mandatory for all occupants in four-wheelers.
