The 260-km-long Bengaluru–Chennai Expressway is currently partially operational and is expected to significantly ease traffic movement between the two major southern cities once completed.

Going beyond conventional awareness campaigns, this year’s initiative aims to bring about a meaningful shift in mindset, embedding road safety into daily behaviour rather than treating it as an option exercised only when convenient.
