| It's Jan 3, Traffic Police yet to kick start for “Road Safety Week” | | | Jammu, Jan 2: It is January 3 but the first week of January which often is marked with hectic activities from traffic police department and other voluntary organizations with regard to 'Traffic Awareness' activities yet has to see any such activity as there are no signs of 'Road Safety Week' in Jammu till now.
January 2014 opened up in unusual manner as there are 'no sign boards' erected, no awareness camps and campaign material is being distributed and even no NGO/ educational institution has come forward to set up small awareness camp on the road to spread awareness on Road Safety.
The state Transport department is also sitting idle as no seminar or lecture has been organised either on the subject.
As per the fixed annual calendar activities, ever year 'Road Safety week' is organised from Jan 1-7 with an objective to spread awareness about traffic rules and other awareness keeping in mind the safety of the passengers and others traveling on the road. But two days have passed and the various NGO's, NCC cadets and the Traffic police department in collaboration with the state transport department is yet are away from the activities organized as part of 'traffic awareness week.'
It is also not clear whether the decision to postpone the 'Road Safety Week' has been taken due to some unavoidable circumstances but the general masses on the streets have noticed absence of Road Safety Week related activities.
If recalled here during the week the city often wears a new look with posters, slogan campaign often organised by the traffic police department and awareness rallies were also taken out across different places to spread the message of road safety and educate the motorists driving different vehicles.
Ironically, despite recording increase in the number of accidental deaths in the state the state govt has till date ignored the organisation of Road Safety Week. |
