Stating that she would soon be meeting Governor Surjit Singh Barnala, Dr. Pushpanjali said she would appeal to him to press for the strict implementation of the rule making it mandatory for two-wheeler riders to wear helmets.

A portrait of Hithendran was unveiled on the occasion. S. Aramudhan, president of Vandalur Village Panchyat and Meenakshi Sundaram, Headmaster of the school, were present.
