Thuraiyur police light up the day for drivers by celebrating Deepavali with them

TIRUCHI In a heartwarming gesture, the Thuraiyur police organised a special Deepavali celebration for drivers who were on duty and unable to celebrate the festival with their families. The celebration was held near the Thuraiyur bypass at Sorathur on Sunday night, where the police reached out to truck, bus, heavy vehicle, and car drivers travelling along the route.

As part of the initiative, the police distributed sweets and coffee to drivers, sharing the joy of the festival with those who continued working while their families celebrated at home. They distributed sparklers and joined the drivers in lighting them.

The thoughtful initiative received widespread appreciation on social media, with many praising the police for their effort to spread cheer among those working on the festival day. The video of the celebration was shared by Tamil Nadu Police on their X handle.
