Caltex rewards “Road Stars”

Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC completed the final phase of its national campaign on road safety, as they awarded the Caltex Road Star Grand Prize to Wattala S. Thusitha Weeramunda at the Caltex Head office in Colombo. Caltex Road Star is a community-driven project endorsed by the Sri Lanka Motor Traffic Authority, who partnered with the company to help conduct this project across major cities such as Colombo, Galle, Matara, Kalutara, Kandy, Embilipitiya, Ratnapura, Kurunegala, Anuradhapura and Gampaha. The campaign locations were selected based on the alarming number of fatal road accidents that occurred in each area. The campaign was conceptualized by Caltex, following an interim report of the Parliamentary Committee on the increase in road accidents in Sri Lanka. (December 13, 2010)
