Sahu in collaboration with different Transport Associations/Unions of Jammu launched “Vehicles as Messengers Campaign”.
Under this campaign extensive awareness will be created by the passenger vehicles pasted with stickers having slogans and messages regarding importance of voting.

More than seven Transport Associations of all the major routes of Jammu Division (Of Buses, Mini Buses, Auto Rickshaws) extended full support to the campaign and were present on the occasion.
