In a proactive move to enhance highway safety and encourage responsible driving, Byrnihat Police in Meghalaya organised a road safety awareness drive for truck drivers along National Highway-6 in Ri Bhoi district.
The campaign was conducted at the busy 13th Mile area, a major traffic corridor witnessing heavy movement of commercial vehicles on a daily basis.

The awareness drive, conducted in line with provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, focused on preventing violations such as drunken driving, over-speeding, wrong-side driving, and other risky behaviours.
Truck drivers were urged to follow traffic regulations diligently and adopt responsible driving habits to help reduce accidents and make highways safer for everyone.
