Two traffic convex mirrors have been installed near Basaveshwara Circle in Vijayanagar III Stage in Mysuru.

With a view to prevent road accidents and enhance the safety of motorists, the Lions Club of Mysore Ambassadors, Lions District 317G, has installed two traffic convex mirrors near Basaveshwara Circle in Vijayanagar III Stage in Mysuru.

Motorists often face the risk of accidents at junctions and sharp turns due to poor visibility of oncoming vehicles. The club undertook this public service initiative to minimise such risks and facilitate smoother traffic movement, said C.R. Dinesh of the club, in a statement on Monday.

The mirrors would help motorists spot approaching vehicles, thereby reducing the possibility of accidents, he said.

The club president, H.K. Prasanna, in the statement, said protecting lives and ensuring road safety were the responsibility of every individual. The organisation had been consistently undertaking such public service initiatives for the benefit of society, he said.

Besides adhering to traffic rules, it was equally important to put appropriate road safety measures in place, he added.

V.V. Puram Traffic Police Station sub-inspector Shabareesh, traffic policeman Murali, club secretary Kishore, district cabinet secretary T.H. Venkatesh and club representatives V. Shidhar, Makala Shivakumar, C.R. Dinesh and Kantaraju were present.

Members of the club K.T. Vishnu, Varada and Arun, along with residents N.D. Yogesh, Girish, K.T. Krishnappa, B. Lokesh, Lion Jayanth, Sunil, Gangesh and Dharme Gowda, participated in the programme, the statement added.
