As part of the Telangana government’s 99-day Praja Palana Pragathi Programme, the Karimnagar Police organized an ‘Arrive Alive’ road safety awareness seminar at Satavahana University on Wednesday.

Addressing the gathering, the Commissioner expressed concern that a majority of road accident victims are youth. He stressed the need for adopting defensive driving practices and urged everyone to strictly follow traffic rules to prevent accidents and save lives.

University Vice-Chancellor U. Umesh Kumar stated that the campus has been maintained as a drug-free zone and that a special committee is actively working to prevent ragging. He also noted that speed breakers have been installed across the campus to regulate vehicle movement.
