Thousands of citizens took to the streets, each step echoing the message that every life matters. Every participant is now a brand ambassador of the Safe Drive, Save Life campaign, launched in 2016 by the Hon’ble Chief Minister, carrying its life-saving message into homes, streets, and hearts across the state.

Together, we ran not just for fitness but for responsibility, awareness and hope.
