Dear Shawn,
I hope you are in great health and high spirits. In your previous letter you were curious to know what is being done in India to promote road safety so I thought of sharing the measures that are being taken. India’s roads are always busy. A traffic crisis is an everyday story. The Road Accident Statistics show that road crashes take place every day. As per research, one serious accident on road happens every minute and every hour 16 people die on the roads. The numbers are really alarming but the Government has taken some measures to reduce it to nil.
Many road safety campaigns are being initiated by the Indian Government for the past few years to promote road safety. Apart from spreading awareness through advertisements, the campaigns are involving schools and colleges in the road safety programmes. Road safety seminars and programmes are being organised in every state by the traffic police to provide information about the traffic rules to the general public. The Government is also taking and revising steps every year to ensure safe traffic and prevention of road accidents. People are being repeatedly instructed to be alert and careful while walking or driving on the roads. Traffic safety rules have been installed on the roads in the form of graphics, quirky lines and slogans to remind people to be safe. To keep an eye on the ones breaking the rules and taking necessary action towards them, CCTV cameras have been installed everywhere in the city. Certain celebrities are also supporting these campaigns are encouraging people through interviews, advertisements and even public lectures. Things are far better than it was a few years back and I think the impact has been good on the people as they are following the rules and precautions while they are travelling every day. Hope I have been able to answer to your question.
Give my regards to your parents and love to your little sister. Would be waiting for your response.
Yours affectionately,
