Thereafter the school children were taken to the premises of the First Armed Battalion of Police located in Junga. Where Police Sub Inspector Ramesh Sharma gave detailed information about road safety to the students. In which, apart from always walking on the left side of the road, children below the age of 18 years should not drive any type of vehicle and under the Motor Vehicles Act, a driving license should be made only after completing the age of 18 years. He said that listening to mobile while driving, being intoxicated and driving at high speed is not only illegal but also a crime for which the driver can be issued a challan. He said that if a driver drives under the influence of alcohol or listens to a mobile phone, then it should be informed to the police and action can be taken against such a driver under the Motor Vehicles Act. Road Safety Coordinator Neelkamal, Lata Thakur, Suman Chauhan, Indu and Ashish Sharma and other teachers participated in the awareness rally.
