Bengaluru, February 7: In a proactive effort to enhance road safety and raise awareness about traffic regulations, the Banaswadi Traffic Police in collaboration with the Traffic Warden Organisation conducted a comprehensive Road Safety and Traffic Awareness Program at Trilife Hospital today.

Sub Inspector Mr. Srinivas and Dr. Shafiq A M, Director and CEO, Trilife Hospital.
With the objective of reducing road accidents and promoting responsible driving behaviour, the training program featured informative sessions led by dedicated traffic wardens who enlightened the audience about crucial traffic rules and emphasized the importance of adhering to them for the safety of all road users.
