Magician Dhayaa illustrated the importance of wearing helmets and refraining from drunken driving by riding a bike blindfolded, starting from Gandhipuram to R.S. Puram, symbolically stressing on traffic safety.



During his interaction with journalists, Commissioner Balakrishnan emphasized that even if one could hypothetically drive blindfolded, driving without helmets or under the influence of alcohol is strictly forbidden. He mentioned ongoing concerns about young individuals driving after consuming alcohol and stressed that parents should not purchase vehicles for their children until they are of legal age and possess a valid driver’s license. Stringent actions were promised against those who continuously violate traffic norms.
