During the campaign, two-wheeler riders were reminded to wear helmets, while car drivers were asked to wear seat belts.
Additional DCP Crime Rajesh Dandotiya, traffic police officials and NCC cadets were also present during the campaign.
The unusual campaign attracted attention from commuters and sent a simple message — avoid rushing on the roads and follow traffic rules to stay safe.
Indore’s Unique Traffic Campaigns
Indore has often used creative ways to make people pay attention to traffic rules. The city first gained national attention for Ranjeet Singh, its famous dancing traffic cop, known for using Michael Jackson-style moonwalk moves while managing traffic.
Later, Shubhi Jain, popularly known as the “Dancing Traffic Girl” and “Lady Singham,” drew attention with her dance moves and dramatic style while spreading road-safety awareness.
Now, the gorilla campaign at Palasia Square has added another unique chapter to Indore's traffic awareness efforts.
