**Safety Tips:**
1. Kindly avoid getting down from the rickshaw.
2. Sit tightly and secure your belongings firmly.
3. In case you get down and walk, make sure to identify your rickshaw man and also embark it from the same spot and with the same rickshaw man where you left it.
4. There are strangers claiming stories of being the father or brother or a relative of the rickshaw man and take you along with them, avoid them and do not believe them.
