VIJAYAWADA: Deputy commissioner of police (DCP- Traffic) Shereen Begum on Friday conducted an awareness drive at major junctions in the city, highlighting the importance of following traffic rules and the benefits of wearing helmets.
As part of the awareness program, police officials greeted and presented roses to riders wearing helmets, vehicle drivers wearing seat belts, auto drivers in proper uniform, and motorists who were seen following the traffic rules.
