Road safety advisory issued amid fog, Sankranti travel rush

City Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar has appealed to the citizens to avoid driving in dense fog conditions, especially during late night and early morning hours, as poor visibility across the State poses a serious threat to road safety.

With large-scale movement of people expected ahead of the Sankranti festival, the Commissioner through an advisory on his ‘X’ has said the eagerness to reach native places should not put lives at risk. He cautioned



that thick fog, which makes it difficult to see what lies ahead on the road, has become a major cause of accidents.

The advisory strongly discourages travelling in private vehicles when visibility is low and urges motorists to begin their journey only after the fog clears and roads are clearly visible.

Emphasising the emotional toll of road accidents, the police appealed to travellers to ensure they return home safely to their families.
