RAJOURI JAN 07:- In a significant step towards promoting road safety and combating drug abuse, ARTO Rajouri Pawan Kumar Sharma administered an oath to young license aspirants on Tuesday. The oath, taken at the vehicle trial ground, emphasized staying away from drugs and adhering to traffic rules.

Addressing the gathering, ARTO Sharma highlighted the importance of responsible behavior among the youth, who he termed as the nation’s future.
