Delhi Police, known for their creative and engaging public advisories, used a special traffic advisory to educate the public about road safety on Monday.
Using an analogy of Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra, Delhi Police’s official social media handles wrote, "Be like #NeerajChopra. Win hearts, not Challans." The post quickly amassed 7,732 views.
It also had a message for all the drivers and riders that read, “The picture also came with a message for drivers and riders. “To drivers & riders, You are not Neeraj's javelin, and crossing the white lines will not get you points or medals.”
Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra scripted history yet again as he became the first Indian to win a gold medal in the World Athletics Championships with a throw of 88.17m in the men’s javelin final in Budapest, Hungary, on August 27.
Chopra has now become only the second Indian — after shooter Abhinav Bindra — to simultaneously hold the Olympics and World Championships titles. Bindra had won the World Championships title when he was 23, and the Olympics gold at 25.
