CHANDIGARH, 12.10.25-The NSS units of Mehr Chand Mahajan D.A.V College for Women, Chandigarh, in collaboration with the Chandigarh Traffic Police, organised a traffic awareness drive “Don’t Text, Just Drive”.

The NSS volunteers distributed handmade bookmarks, dashboard tags and various souvenirs marked with thought-provoking quotes to spread awareness about safe driving practices. Each of these creative tokens carried short yet powerful messages, reminding drivers to keep their focus on the road and avoid the deadly distraction of mobile phones while driving. The volunteers, along with the Chandigarh Traffic Police officers, actively engaged with motorcyclists, car drivers and bus drivers at traffic signals and busy junctions, personally urging them to follow traffic safety norms. They highlighted that using a mobile phone while driving is not just a violation of law but also a reckless act that endangers the lives of passengers, pedestrians, and other commuters. The awareness drive concluded with an impactful reminder that road safety is a shared responsibility.

The College Principal, Mrs. Neena Sharma, lauded the efforts of the NSS volunteers and the Chandigarh Traffic Police, appreciating their commitment to spreading such a vital message. She emphasised that small yet mindful actions, like avoiding mobile use while driving, can prevent accidents and help save countless innocent lives.
