Following the community outreach, the cyclists returned to the town, concluding the event at the SP Office.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Pritpal Kaur emphasised the critical pillars of road safety. She spoke extensively on the mandatory use of helmets, the dangers of mobile phone usage and distracted driving, and strict "no drink and drive" policy.
