Bengaluru: Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy on Wednesday announced a public awareness initiative on road safety.

The '5K Safe-a-thon' aims to highlight the rise in road accidents caused by reckless driving and safety violations.

With the motto 'Our Road, Our Safety', the run is scheduled for February 1, from 6 am to 8 am, starting at Kanteerava Stadium.

"Road safety is everyone's duty. Let us pledge for safer traffic by joining the campaign — walk, cycle or run," Reddy said.
