ArriveSAFE, an NGO, and the Chandigarh Traffic Police started a three-day awareness campaign to make users of non-motorised vehicles (NMVs) such as cycles, rickshaws and rehris aware about the consequences of drunken driving and to increase their visibility. High quality reflectors will be put on 3,000 NMVs.

Harman Singh Sidhu, president of ArriveSAFE, said: “Most awareness campaigns and enforcement drives target drivers of motorised vehicles leaving this segment of road users to fend for themselves. Though drunk cyclists are not challaned under the Motor Vehicle Act, they are at a greater risk of losing life or getting life altering injury in case of a crash, hence this campaign.”
