In India's Bengaluru City of Karnataka, many traffic lights will show a red heart on the red light between October 15 and October 25, NDTV quoted Indian news agency ANI.
This step is being taken by the Bengaluru Traffic Police to raise awareness about heart health, for which they have chosen 20 junctions in the country's Silicon Valley to feature a red heart.
R Gowda, Joint Commissioner of Police, Traffic Bengaluru City told the agency that they had collaborated with Manipal hospitals to create awareness.
“On the occasion of World Heart Day, Manipal Hospitals installed innovations to encourage Bangalore to be a 'heart smart city',” a tweet by the hospital read.
The step was taken not just to spread awareness but also to sensitise people on the topic.
World Heart Day is celebrated on September 29 every year.
