Haar ya Helmet? Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur raise awareness on National Road Safety Week
January 12,2022Nagpur:
Yamraj Khush Hua! A ghost was spotted in the Shankar Nagar Square of city reciting
the same to riders without helmet.
In a bid to create awareness towards road
safety, Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur conducted an awareness campaign- Haar ya Helmet. The campaign focused on
wearing helmet and its importance in road safety.
The innovative event was held at
Shankar Nagar Square where the commuters not wearing helmets were asked to
choose a helmet or a garland. They were educated and reminded on wearing helmet
and ensuring their own safety. As
road transportation becomes more crowded with means to travel becoming more
easily available, mishaps on the road have emerged as one of the most pressing
social issues that the country is grappling with. The idea behind this activity
was to reach more and more number of people and give them the message of
wearing helmets for safety.
The
commuters who were following all the safety norms were also regarded as “Road
Safety Heroes” under this campaign.
City traffic police was associated with this event and supported in making this event a success. “We are continuously working on raising awareness not just towards wearing helmets but also to follow all the traffic rules once we are on roads. This initiative will add to our cause in a novel way”, said Mr. Amit Dolas, PI (traffic), Nagpur. “This activity also ensure in educating people about importance of wearing helmets as two wheelers are most vulnerable to accidents. We are working on educating people on the fact that following traffic rules is for their own safety”, he added. The entire campaign was conducted under guidance of Mr. Sarang Awad, Deputy Commissioner of police (Traffic), Nagpur.
“We are doing our bit in raising
awareness for various social causes and this is one on such activities through
which are appealing people to follow traffic rules and wear helmet for their safety”,
