Chhattisgarh Director General of Police D. M. Awasthi holding review meeting of all district Traffic Incharges at Police Headquarters, Nava Raipur on Monday said life is more important than recovery of fine.
Last year across the state around 4,956 deaths were reported in road accidents.
He directed the traffic officials, it is their responsibility to reduce the road accidents and taking stern action against the speeding vehicles.
He directed the district level officers to get in action with the district force and ensure that traffic system is improved within a month. He added that for any family, the life of the person is most valuable. The duty of traffic police is to make necessary changes in traffic rules to ensure smooth flow of vehicles thus reducing the accidents and save lives. In each district speed radar has been installed. Stern action should be taken against speeding vehicles.
DGP directed that from morning to night special patrolling should be done to control the speeding vehicles. Review of traffic improvement will be done each month and point wise review will be taken and responsibility will be fixed.
He added those doing good job will be awarded and if laxity is found, will face action. DIGs Mayank Shrivastava and Sanjay Sharma were present in the meeting.
