Indian Police Use Viral Memes to Promote Road Safety Awareness Among Youth

Indian police departments are using viral memes to promote road safety among younger audiences. Traffic cop Vivek Anand Tiwari employed the 'Hulku Re' meme to warn about helmet use, underage driving, and fines, emphasizing the risks of unlicensed driving. Meanwhile, Delhi Police used the 'Gange' meme to caution against drunk driving, contrasting it humorously with drinking sugarcane juice to encourage safe habits. Both initiatives aim to increase awareness through relatable social media content.
