God of Death chases violating motorists

Thanks to BHPian smartcat for sharing this with fellow enthusiasts.

As part of a campaign by the Halasuru Gate traffic police, mace-wielding Yamraj, the God of Death, was seen stopping motorists in Bengaluru. Veeresh, a theatre artist, played the part and stopped motorists who were violating traffic rules.

Yamraj was on a mission to promote road safety and stopped those who were riding without helmets or driving recklessly. He warned a few motorists saying that he would visit their homes if they continued to violate rules. In a few cases, he even rode pillion on the motorbikes.

The traffic police, to help create awareness on the importance of following traffic safety rules, conducted this campaign. They were also seen handing out roses to violators. The campaign also included street plays and lectures in schools and colleges organised by the traffic police. July is being observed as a road safety month.

This year, a total of 2,336 accidents have been reported in Bengaluru by the end of June. Of these, 330 are said to be fatal.
