Let safety be the keyword when you hit the road

According to multiple reports by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the state has seen over three thousand road accidents (3,437) in 2013, the highest among Indian states. Keeping this in mind, the Maharashtra Highway Police (MHP) is conducting a special road safety seminar in two Thane colleges to promote safe driving habits among the youth and commuters.
