After flagging off the Electrical Safety Propaganda van, during interaction with media persons, Shri Shubhranshu stated that the accident records of Salem Division due to electrocution was impeccable with only 3 deaths during 2014-15, that too because of the fact that the persons involved in the mishaps were mentally unstable. He said that due to lack of awareness only, accidents take place, and as a preventive step, this Awareness Campaign is being taken up by Salem Division.  He further stated that   in these 3 days, the Safety Campaign Van will travel to all the stations in Salem Division and will interact with the general public to educate them on the risks of going near the electrified tractions, climbing over the electric locomotives, climbing or touching the traction poles/structures, by way of distribution of Pocket Calendars/Student Scales carrying Safety Messages and Pamphlets, etc.,
