Palauk, 9 April
With a view to preventing traffic accidents during Maha Thingyan (water festival), a public awareness campaign on reduction of traffic accidents was launched this morning in front of BEHS in Palauk, Myeik District, Taninthayi Region.
Also present on the occasion were the Township Administrator and staff from Palauk GAD, Police Commander and police members from the Township Police station, departmental staff, village administrators and community leaders.
The aim of the campaign is to persuade motor cyclists to wear helmets while riding a motorbike, to ban them from drinking alcohol while driving and to prevent them from making noises that can annoy other people.—Naing Oo, Palauk IPRD
