As a part of an integrated safety management system, the city police, Archeological Survey of India, the Municipal Corporation and various social organizations like the lion Club and Rotary Club will be installing display boards at various strategic places of the city to warn the citizens about traffic jams, impending dangers during rainy season and accident prone areas.
These boards will be placed near historical monuments, educational institutions, Gwalior Fort, Tigra dam and other picnic areas.
The display boards will also be installed at congestion- prone interjections, main roads and flyovers.
While the Rotary Club will install boards near schools and colleges, the Tourism Department will mount the same near picnic spots, heritage sites and historical monuments.
The Tigra dam and some of the historical monuments are accident-prone areas, where numerous accidents have occurred in the recent past.
During the monsoon season Tigra Dam is the most visited picnic spot in the city. Many deaths have occurred here due to the ignorance of the visitors about the depth of water in the dam.
There are also areas in the dam that are filled with big rocks and swimmers tend to slip on these rocks, resulting in deaths due to drowning.
Another accident-prone picnic spot is the Gwalior Fort, where visitors flock during the monsoon season.
While most of the buildings and monuments here are in good condition, some are old and depleted with worn-out walls and slippery steps.
The ASI will be installing warning boards at Jahangir Palace, Shah Jahan Palace and the Shami Hamam Khana, situated at the Gwalior Fort.
The warning boards are expected to caution people about the dangers, like the depth of water at certain points in the dam, rocky areas, worn-out compound walls and such other risks.
The display boards will also warn people about criminal activities and the presence of anti- social elements in certain areas of the city.
Helpline numbers of police, ambulance and fire engines too will be put on the boards.
