SSP Kulgam Shri Sahil Sarangal-IPS said, ensuring road safety is a shared responsibility. Through such awareness campaigns, our objective is to educate the youth and general public about the importance of discipline and responsibility on the roads.
During these awareness programmes, police officers delivered detailed lectures on the Motor Vehicle Act, traffic regulations, and road safety protocols. They highlighted the risks of reckless driving, over-speeding, and use of mobile phones while on the road. Special emphasis was laid on the importance of wearing helmets, seat belts, and following traffic signals for saving lives. The youth were particularly encouraged to embrace their role as “Road Safety Ambassadors” by spreading awareness among peers and community members.
These Mega Traffic Awareness Programmes forms part of the broader series of outreach and public safety campaigns launched by Police to foster civic responsibility, legal awareness, and mutual trust between the police and the community.(JKNS)
