The district administration launched a campaign to ensure road safety on Saturday, where staff will serve notices to the parents of under-age motorcyclists. According to official sources, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Waseem Hamid Sindhu has taken a special interest in measures to ensure highway safety.
He launched the campaign against motorcyclists under 18 years of age, sending warning notices to their parents to deter them from riding. Additionally, strict action will be taken against individuals not installing mirrors and wearing helmets while riding motorcycles.
In a recent District Accident Review Committee meeting, chaired by DC Sindhu, the committee received a briefing from Secretary RTA Hina Rehman.
Addressing the increasing rate of accidents, DC Sindhu emphasized the need to start an awareness campaign at the school and college levels. Furthermore, he announced strict measures to regulate transport properly.
