August 16th,2024: In a unique twist on the traditional Rakhi Bandhan celebration, students from Tezpur’s Roushan National School launched an innovative road safety campaign. The initiative, conducted in collaboration with the Tezpur Traffic Police, involves tying rakhis to two-wheeler riders who are not wearing helmets. This creative approach aims to raise awareness about traffic rules and encourage safer driving practices.
The campaign took place in front of Tezpur Sadar Thana, where young students and teachers from Roushan National School gathered to carry out their mission. With the support of the Tezpur Sadar Traffic Police, they approached riders without helmets, tying rakhis to their wrists as a symbol of protection and a reminder of their responsibility to stay safe on the roads. This act not only caught the attention of the riders but also created a meaningful connection between traffic safety and the cultural significance of Rakhi Bandhan.
This commendable initiative serves a dual purpose: it educates both students and vehicle drivers about the importance of following traffic rules, particularly the use of helmets for two-wheeler riders. By combining a festive tradition with a crucial safety message, Roushan National School has found an effective way to engage the community and promote road safety. The campaign’s success demonstrates the power of innovative thinking in addressing important social issues and fostering a culture of responsible driving.
