We want the children to tell about the Traffic awareness to their parents, friends and mates. Once the schools get re-open, then we will approach schools and will conduct awareness training¿s there as well," said Kumar.

One of the students in the camp, Rajeev Mundada thanked the Hyderabad Traffic Police for organising such a beneficial camp.

"I have learnt many things in this camp about Traffic awareness. They (Traffic police) have taught us very well. They said we should always follow traffic rules and explained us what are traffic rules. Organising such camps will help us now and in future too," the student said.

Reportedly, in March, 20 parents were sent to jail and this month six parents have been jailed for allowing their underaged children to drive.
