Analysed 10 Sept 2026·10 sources analysed·Dadra and Nagar Haveli, India·Social
Daman Collector Leads Thar and Fortuner Owners in Road Safety PledgePreviousNext

In Daman, owners of Mahindra Thar and Toyota Fortuner SUVs participated in the 'Thar-Fortuner Sankalp Yatra,' a road safety campaign where they took a public pledge to drive responsibly. Led by the district collector and supported by local officials, the initiative aimed to promote safe driving and discourage reckless behavior, including unauthorized vehicle modifications. The campaign received praise from public figures like Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, though some online users questioned the effectiveness of pledges alone in addressing traffic violations.
