Madurai, Sept. 10

The Confederation of Indian Industry, Madurai Zone, organised a one-day training programme `Be A Friend' for auto drivers, taxi drivers and tourist guides.

The programme was aimed at improving their communication skills, body language skills, tips on interaction with local and foreign tourists, knowledge of touristic importance of Madurai and first aid, as part of its efforts in sensitising the stakeholders in the promotion of heritage tourism.

The event was held at the Apollo Speciality Hospitals here on Saturday.

Stressing the importance of fixing meters in the autos, the local MP, Mr P.
