“We are greeting people with our national flag and they are really enjoying this nice effort of the traffic police. This day comes once a year, so we should celebrate it with full swing while abiding the traffic rules as well.”

While another traffic police personnel said that mostly people overlook the traffic rules and regulations on the eve of the Independence Day while they are also risking their own lives along with lives of the others which should be avoided.

At the back of these mini flags different Public Service and road awareness messages have been printed like ‘wearing of helmet while riding bikes’ and ‘avoid using mobile phone while driving’.
