Daman officials said the campaign was aimed at changing the perception associated with large SUVs and encouraging owners to use their vehicles responsibly rather than as a means of intimidation.

The administration also launched a social media campaign urging participants to promote responsible driving online. Deputy Collector Priyanshu Singh warned that strict action would be taken against those using their vehicles to display “bhaigiri” or “mafiagiri”.

Officials stressed that Daman's popularity as a tourist destination makes responsible driving particularly important for the safety of residents, tourists and other road users.
