Gurugram traffic police has found an innovative way to spread awareness about safety while riding a two-wheeler.

Gurugram traffic police have shared a meme of Shahid Kapoor-starrer ‘Kabir Singh’. In a tweet, the traffic police, requested people to think about their safety first.

Posting a hilarious meme, the police wrote: “Jab khud bachoge tabhi Preeti ko bacha paoge (When you save yourself, then you will be able to save Preeti).”

In the film, Shahid goes to save Kiara Advani (Preeti) on a bike without wearing the helmet.

Last month, the Gurugram traffic police had also distributed helmets to those riding their vehicles without headgear to emphasise the importance of wearing it.

The police not only distributed 200 helmets, but also gifted people 500 pens and hundreds of flowers.

According to a report published in India Today, which analysed statistics provided by Road Transport and Highways Ministry, more than 48,746 two-wheeler users died in road mishaps in 2017.

The report also revealed that every hour four two-wheeler riders who lost their lives in road accident did not wear a helmet.
