He said that traffic rules have been framed keeping public safety in mind. The District Administration, through the Transport Department, is running a Road Safety Awareness Campaign till 31 January 2026 to make citizens aware of traffic rules.
DC Sachin Gupta said that the District Administration is making every possible effort to reduce road accidents by making maximum use of technology and to prevent loss of life in such accidents. During the road safety awareness campaign, students and vehicle drivers are also being administered the Road Safety Pledge. In this series, a slogan writing competition on the theme of “Do Not Drive in the Wrong Direction” was organised by the Regional Transport Authority, Traffic Police and IDTR team. The winning students were honoured with certificates.
The Deputy Commissioner said that students and teachers were administered the Road Safety Pledge during the programme. They pledged to keep all road-related aspects in mind before driving, to always voluntarily follow road and traffic rules, to take care of their own safety as well as that of other road users, to work dedicatedly and regularly for road safety, to educate and motivate others, to always come forward to help accident victims, and to strive towards developing a clean, healthy, safe and responsible road culture.
