In every two second there is a road accident in India and someone dies due to an accident in every seven minute. This figure was shared by Ranchi Traffic SP Rajeev Ranjan at Albert Ekka Chowk on Tuesday, as a part of month long traffic awareness campaign started by Traffic Department.
To raise awareness about hand traffic signals and road etiquette among the denizens of state capital Ranchi Traffic Officials in collaboration with Ranchi Police had organised this campaign in different traffic posts from June 24. Ranjan throwing light on the campaign said, “Our prime focus is to make people aware about the traffic rules and also to ensure that they follow it in their day to day life. We have tried to inform people about the rules through street plays, workshops, orientations but no massive effect has been witnessed so far. This time we have installed sound mics at various traffic posts to bring about desired changes.” As many as three microphones echoing the traffic rules and safety measures have been installed by the traffic police at Ratu chowk, Kantatoli Chowk and Sarjana Chowk.
Traffic Station In-Charge Prabhat Kumar who was also present on the occasion said, “The traffic cops are making all possible effort to make the people aware about the basic traffic rules during this drive.”
