-Warangal: Mahabubabad district police on Wednesday organized a bike rally involving parents and children to promote the use of helmets under the ‘Come Alive’ initiative.

The rally, led by Superintendent of Police P. Shabarish, started at the Town Police Station and passed through the main streets of the town. It focused on creating awareness among parents and school-going children about the importance of wearing helmets, especially for pillion riders.

Parents, teachers and children also attended the rally, carrying banners with road safety messages. SP Shabarish, who was at the event with his child, said that it is the responsibility of parents to ensure the safety of children during travel.
