Police Launch Extensive Road Safety Campaign in Damoh

The police department in Damoh district has launched a comprehensive campaign to emphasize the importance of road safety and raise awareness among citizens about traffic regulations. As part of this initiative, Superintendent of Police Anand Kaladgi organized a significant event at Killai Naka Chowk.

During the event, Superintendent of Police Anand Kaladgi personally distributed free helmets to needy and underprivileged two-wheeler riders. The primary objective behind this endeavor is to reduce the loss of life in road accidents and ensure the safety of citizens.

Mandatory Helmet Use Emphasized

Addressing the attendees, Superintendent of Police Anand Kaladgi stressed the mandatory nature of wearing helmets while riding two-wheelers. He clarified that wearing a helmet is not merely a legal requirement but a crucial step for the rider's own life safety.

“Riding without a helmet is a serious violation of traffic rules and can pose a significant risk to life,” SP Kaladgi stated.

He urged all vehicle riders to make wearing a helmet an integral part of their daily commute and warned that strict penalties would be imposed on those violating traffic rules.

'Rahveer' Scheme to Aid Accident Victims

The Superintendent of Police also provided detailed information about the government's 'Rahveer' scheme. Under this scheme, any citizen who saves an injured person in a road accident by immediately taking them to the nearest hospital will be rewarded by the government with an incentive amount and honor.

The aim of this scheme is to ensure that accident victims receive prompt medical attention, thereby increasing the chances of survival. The initiative is expected to encourage more citizens to come forward and assist those in distress.

Senior Officials Pledge Safe Travel

The event was attended by Additional Superintendent of Police Dalbir Singh Marko, DSP Pandey, and Traffic In-charge Akanksha Joshi, along with other senior officials and staff from the police department. All officials collectively pledged to adhere to traffic rules and promote safe journeys.

The police department has clarified that this road safety awareness campaign will continue indefinitely in the future to maintain discipline among citizens and keep them vigilant about their own safety.
