A banner at the event carried the message, “Raftaar nahi, sansakar” (Not speed, but values).Reacting to the video, Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw praised the initiative. “I think India needs this kind of ‘schooling’ more than another driving lesson! Commendable move by the Daman Collector,” she said in a post on X.“Making Thar and Fortuner owners take an oath to drive safely, sometimes a little public pledge may work better than a thousand road signs!” she added.The Daman administration did not link the campaign to any specific accident or incident.
