Strict enforcement of traffic rules stressed
RAJSHAHI, Aug 6, 2018 (BSS)- High police officials at a post-rally
street-corner meeting here unanimously observed that strict enforcement of
traffic rules besides creating wide-ranging mass-awareness could be the
crucial means of freeing the society from road traffic accidents.
They mentioned that the country experiences many road accidents every
year claiming scores of lives and injuring many others. The total loss of
properties in the accidents is estimated huge money.
They made this observation while inaugurating the traffic week-2018 at
Shaheb Bazar Zero Point under Boalia Police Station in the city yesterday.
Traffic Division of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP) organized the
meeting titled “Road Safety and raising of mass-awareness”.
Large number of police officials and members, public in general and
students and scouts from various schools and colleges joined the programme.
RMP Commissioner Hafiz Akter, Deputy Commissioners Amir Jafar, Anirban
Chakma, Joynal Abedeen and Alamgir Hossain and Senior Assistant Commissioner
Ufte Khayer Alam, among others, addressed the meeting.
Hafiz Akter says utmost importance should be given on enhancing drivers’
skills, awareness on traffic law and tendency to obey law among the public in
general for road safety.
There is no alternative to awareness to prevent road traffic accidents
which create grave concern. Enhancement of competence and awareness of the
professional drivers and others concerned is very important to this end.
If the drivers drive their vehicles carefully the existing number of
road accidents could be reduced to a greater extent.
