with the Dhenkanal Police, has launched an awareness campaign on monsoon road and health safety to
enhance the safety of its workers, drivers, employees and the community during the monsoon season. The

Abhishek Sharma, Head, Security, TSM, and other officials of TSM.
The campaign includes various initiatives such as awareness drives among drivers, commuters, and
workers, as well as the distribution of safety leaflets and a nukkad natak (street play). The nukkad natak
aimed to educate the audience on the significance of following vehicle safety guidelines during the monsoon
season. The play skillfully depicted various scenarios, emphasizing the importance of safe driving,
maintaining proper vehicle fitness, and keeping a safe distance from other vehicles during the monsoon etc.
This campaign will continue to spread awareness on monsoon-related road and health safety concerns.
Additionally, the campaign stresses monsoon-related health concerns such as snake bites, dengue, malaria,
and waterborne diseases, and how to stay safe from these issues.
