Kiran Bedi leads road safety campaign

Puducherry: Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi led a special drive on road safety on the busy Puducherry-Villupuram main road on Sunday and requested motorists to use helmet.

During the campaign, Bedi asked a man, who was driving a motorcycle with his wife and two children riding pillion, that "such a violation of traffic rules will not be tolerated".
