A legal awareness campaign was flagged off on the Ramanathapuram district court premises on Wednesday by Principal District and Sessions Judge R. Shanmuga Sundaram. The event was organised to commemorate the 75th year of Independence.
A Mobile van with a large display screen was deployed as part of the legal awareness campaign. Pamphlets were distributed to the people and short films on legal awareness were screened for the public. The van commenced its journey from the court premises and travelled to various parts of the district.
