Goa’s Director General of Police (DGP) has set a bold target to reduce road fatalities by 20% in 2025. This move comes as part of the Goa Police’s commitment to improving road safety across the state, particularly during peak tourist seasons. The DGP emphasized the importance of promoting responsible road behavior rather than simply focusing on fines. In an effort to tackle road accidents effectively, the police will mark significant dates on a traffic calendar, highlighting road fatalities and raising public awareness.
This initiative forms part of a broader strategy to educate motorists and pedestrians about safe driving practices, speed limits, and the dangers of driving under the influence. By focusing on education and vigilance, the Goa Police aim to create a safer environment for both locals and tourists on the roads. The efforts will likely contribute to long-term reductions in accidents, fostering a culture of safety in the state.
