inDrive’s women drivers partners with Chandigarh Traffic Police to spread awareness of road safety

International ride-hailing platform inDrive’s women drivers have joined hands with the Chandigarh Traffic Police to spread awareness of the importance of road safety on this International Women’s Day.

The initiative featured a session on road safety for inDrive drivers by Chandigarh Police. This was followed by a bike rally of women drivers.

The rally was flagged off by Dr. Parvesh Sharma, Inspector, Chandigarh Traffic Police, and disseminated messages such as ‘Don’t Drink and Drive’ and ‘Keep to the left’, sensitising citizens on the importance of road safety.

The inDrive team also distributed helmets to female riders in Chandigarh who were not wearing helmets on two-wheelers, the company said in a statement.
