A road safety campaign vehicle was launched by Collector K. Shanthi under the aegis of Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation, Dharmapuri division, on Thursday.
The vehicle envisioned in the form of photo exhibition was launched at the Dharmapuri bus stand as part of the continuing road safety awareness programmes undertaken by the district administration.
The road safety campaign exhibition underlined the various dos of road safety and protection, mandating the need to wear helmets, seat belts, and avoiding mobile phones while driving,
Launching the vehicle, Ms. Shanthi said, loss of lives in road accidents could be avoided by merely following road safety rules. Non-compliance with road safety protocols also leads to injuries and accompanying economic hardship and losses that could be avoided, the Collector said.
The vehicle will tour through the district stopping at schools, and colleges and all public places underlining the message of road safety and the preciousness of life that is needlessly lost due to recklessness on the roads.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
