A Report was submitted to the Road Safety Committee, appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India.

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in the High Court of Andhra Pradesh in March 2014 seeking removal of liquor shops on National Highways which are being run against rules.

Submitted reports to the Human Rights Commission, the Andhra Pradesh Lokayuktha, and the Andhra Pradesh High Court requesting to take action
