Karisma Kapoor launched nationwide campaign

Bollywood georgous actress Karisma Kapoor and cricketer Anil Kumble have launched a nationwide campaign to make Indian roads safer 'Road to Safety'. Supported by Karnataka Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy, the initiative was launched by Diageo and NDTV in Bengaluru on Thursday. It aims to make the country's roads safer and reduce the number of preventable accidents by encouraging citizens, specially the youth of India, to be more responsible behind the wheel and to avoid drunken driving. Talking about the issue, Karisma said in a statement: "So many lives are lost every year in India due to a casual approach and lack of knowledge about road safety. Initiatives like this will go a long way in educating people about road safety measures and in turn will help save lives."
