One of the largest carmakers in the Indian automotive market, Hyundai, has extended its support to the Ministry of Road Transport in order to make roads safer than before. The CSR initiative known as ‘Safe Move – Traffic Safety Campaign' was kickstarted today in the presence of Mr. Nitin Gadkari and Hyundai’s brand ambassador Mr. Shah Rukh Khan.
