The Arunachal Pradesh police have initiated a comprehensive road safety campaign in Itanagar to address the rising number of traffic accidents in the capital city. This new campaign aims to educate citizens about the importance of following traffic laws and adopting safer driving practices. Through the distribution of awareness materials, public service announcements, and community outreach programs, the police hope to reduce accidents and fatalities on the roads, especially given the sharp increase in incidents involving two-wheelers and pedestrians.
Additionally, the police will introduce stricter enforcement of traffic laws, including penalties for violations such as speeding, reckless driving, and driving without helmets. This initiative is expected to be a game-changer in reducing traffic-related accidents in Itanagar. Authorities are also working closely with local schools and community groups to spread awareness about road safety and the importance of responsible driving. The campaign will run for several months and is expected to be reinforced through periodic assessments and adjustments based on accident trends.
