violations have come down by 21 per cent in the district so
far this year when compared to last year, Collector K Rajamani

cooperation from the public on safety awareness also
contributed to this.

rally here.
     There was a stringent rule in the state to use helmet
while riding two-wheelers, he said and sought cooperation of
the public to abide by the rule.
