Bengal Govt’s Safe Drive Save Life programme reduces accidents
Kolkata, Aug 17 (UN) West Bengal Government’s Safe Drive Save Life programme has enabled in significantly bringing down the number of accidents in the state. The State’s Road Safety Council a few days back presented to the State Transport Department, Kolkata and Howrah Police, and PWD Department officials a detailed report on the state of road safety in Bengal. The number of road accidents in the state has reduced by 19.52 per cent. Naturally, the number of deaths and injury cases have also reduced, by 11.5 per cent and 14 per cent, respectively, a transport official here today said. Another aspect of the programme has been the police insisting on the use of helmets both by drivers and pillion riders. This significantly lessens the chances of serious injuries. Then, CCTV cameras have been set up at important traffic junctures across the city. This has helped in catching people who are not following safety rules; this has also helped in improving significantly the traffic safety regime of the city. During the presentation of the report, an app to be launched by the Transport Department was also discussed. When in danger, people would be able to send messages from this app directly to police stations, fire services, hospitals and pre-designated relatives and friends, and to the Transport Department as well, via the GPS of the mobile phone. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a State-wide drive, ‘Safe Drive, Save Life on July 8 last year,’ to bring down road accidents and bring in better traffic measures. UNI BM
