Even as the traffic department is going about creating awareness through the ongoing road safety week, a 32-year-old Mumbai resident concluded an epic ride to promote safety of riders. To honour his dead brother’s wish, Deepak Thorat rode his bike from Mumbai to Rajasthan, covering 2,600 kms in six days to spread awareness on road safety. His brother, Anand, passed away a year ago, at age 35. Before dying, he intended to ride across three states to promote road safety.
