To encourage the principles of road safety among young minds, district traffic police along with Maruti Suzuki India Limited organized a Road Safety Mega Festival 2016-17.
As a part of this festival, an awareness campaign was organized at MRIS-51, Gurgaon. Gatimaan, a traffic mascot by Maruti Suzuki conducted ‘Gatimaan ki paathshala’ to accentuate the importance of road safety and traffic rules in an interactive manner. The chief guest Mr. Puran Kumar, Joint Commissioner of Police, Gurgaon graced the occasion. He addressed the students with his words of wisdom. He stressed upon the fact that young children must be made aware of the traffic rules to enable them to grow into responsible and safe drivers of tomorrow. An audio visual was shown to the students to educate them about road safety and traffic rules. Students acted as traffic marshals and demonstrated how to follow the traffic rules to their fellow friends. Students took the pledge to follow traffic rules and were rewarded with gifts for their keen participation in the campaign
