collaboration with the Vasco Welfare Forum and is housed in a specially erected
pandal.
The exhibition is dedicated to the memory of late Sara Froilano Machado. It may
be recalled that Sara Machado died in a tragic road accident a few years back.
The exhibition of visual photos depicts the grim reality of the horrible and
fearful road accidents on the Goan roads. This exhibition of telling
photographs is surely going to create a lasting impression on the viewer and
change his/her attitude in observing road discipline.
The organisers look forward that the citizens of Vasco will visit the
exhibition and get inspired to inculcate good road discipline and awareness,
specially so among the student community. In the recent past Vasco has seen
several road accidents many of which resulted in fatalities within the city
limits.
