NGO Thuvakkam and Thozhan recently organised a traffic awareness campaign at Luz signal to spread the importance of following road safety rules.
In order to grab the attention of the people, a quick mime was conducted during the intermittent time between the signals. These short street plays were focused on the hazards of drunken driving, over speeding and several other issues. In addition to that, to emphasise the seriousness of the issue, one volunteer also dressed up as Yama Dharamaraja – The God of Death. Those who followed the rules were treated with chocolates.
Thuvakkam plans to hold these campaigns on the fourth Sunday of each month. To volunteer contact Gunasekaran at 9445217281.
