Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India, Manipur Chapter organised a walkathon under the theme 'Saving Lives, Saving Faces' from Kangla Western Gate to Konung Mamang Traffic Island, here, on Monday.
The awareness programme was initiated to make the public aware about the importance of wearing helmets and putting on seatbelts as well as highlight the role of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the treatment of maxillofacial injuries.
The programme was attended by Wangkhei MLA Thangjam Arunkumar and RIMS Dental College principal Dr Praveen Reddy along with a team of doctors of the Dental College.
Speaking on the sidelines, MLA Arunkumar stressed on the need to organise such awareness programmes considering the fact that most people of the state neglect the importance of wearing helmets and seatbelts.
