The enthusiastic participants held placards displaying key safety messages and the Rail-Road Safety Template. The campaign highlighted essential safety practices, such as STOP-LOOK-PROCEED, crossing only at designated rail crossings, using foot-over bridges, and avoiding distractions like texting, loud music, or headphones that could prevent hearing an approaching train..
