PUDUKOTTAI: The NSS volunteers of the Government Arts College for Women, Pudukottai, pasted bulls eye stickers on the headlights of over 3,000 vehicles, both two-wheelers and four-wheelers, in connection with the Road Safety Awareness Week.

Over 100 NSS volunteers were engaged in the campaign which was spread over for three days.

The Principal in-charge, S. Maduravalli inaugurated the campaign near the new-bus stand in the presence of the Controller of Examinations of the college, R. Bhavani.

The volunteers pasted the stickers, sponsored by the Pudukottai Traffic Police, on the headlights at three busy spots – near the new bus stand, near the Government Hospital and at the Palaniappa Bus Stop.

The campaign was on from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on all the three days so that more vehicles could be covered, the NSS Programme Officer, R. Santhakumari said.

M. Palanichamy, Sub-Inspector of Police, Town Police station, and the Traffic police Sub-Inspectors, A. Veeramani and R. Rajkumar rendered assistance to the volunteers in regulating the vehicular traffic so that all the vehicles passing through were covered.

Good response

Professor Santhakumari said that the car drivers and two-wheeler riders responded well and extended their full cooperation for the success of the campaign.

They also commended the service mindedness of the NSS volunteers.

The NSS unit has planned many such awareness programmes throughout the district in the near future.
