Road safety is a critical issue in Meghalaya, where poor road conditions, overspeeding, and drunk driving contribute to a high number of accidents. The police have taken a proactive approach to improve road safety by increasing patrolling in accident-prone areas, conducting breathalyzer tests, and enforcing speed limits. Officers also focus on educating the public about road safety through campaigns and public service announcements.
To address the issue of poor road conditions, the police work alongside the public works department to identify dangerous roads and advocate for repairs. Road accidents, especially during the monsoon season, are frequent, and the police are focusing on enhancing emergency response times and providing immediate medical aid to accident victims.
