Measures To Make Safe Drive Save Life Campaign Successful
In order to make the campaign ‘Safe Drive Save Life’ successful, the Government has decided to include people of the city effectively. With the number of road accidents increasing alarmingly, the road safety measures have become indispensable. According to Road Accident Statistics India 1214 road crashes occur every day in India. 20 children under the age of 14 die every day due to road crashes in the country. One serious road accident in the country occurs every minute and 16 people die on Indian roads every hour.
Keeping in mind the shocking statistics, it becomes imperative to introduce learning road safety measures at schools. The Government has issued directives to schools to make road safety measures an integral part of curriculum. The traffic police must give training of road safety measures to students. They can be taken to road safety learning parks and trained there.
The traffic police have been made more active. The Government has issued new powers and policy for traffic police. People violating traffic rules will be strictly dealt with. Apart from it road safety awareness campaigns and advertisements have also been used.
In order to make the ‘Safe Drive Save Life’ campaign a true success, the Government, NGOs, and people must keep working vigorously and untiringly until the safety objectives are achieved.
