Aiming to inculcate good road safety habits among the children living in the Capital, Delhi Traffic Police has announced to organise a five-day ‘Road Safety Awareness Summer Camp’ for school going students.
The objective is to help children especially students utilise their holidays meaningfully and enable them to learn road safety skills in an enjoyable manner which will have a bearing on their personality in the years to come. The program will also focus on risks of driving by minors, which is increasing in Delhi.
According to the traffic officials, the participants will be provided daily complimentary refreshments and on the last day they will be awarded participation certi?cates. Interesting activities such as awareness about road safety rules, traffic signs, road markings, film shows, street plays (nukkad nataks) and first aid will be undertaken. There will be question and answer sessions and many competitions and awards to be won.
“Road safety literature, calendars, caps and other gifts will be provided to participants. The five days camps will start from May 18 and will finish on June 26 from every Monday to Friday at five traffic training parks- Punjabi Bagh, Roshan Ara Bagh, Bal Bhawan, Pragati Maidan and Baba Kharak Singh Marg on ‘?rst come ?rst serve’ basis. Traffic Police is writing to all the schools of Delhi so that maximum students participate in the camp,” said an official.
“We hope maximum students will enroll and benefit from these camps and use their summer vacation meaningfully and become responsible, safe and traffic rule abiding drivers in future. It is also expected that they will carry back the road safety knowledge to their homes and schools and convince their family members and friends to obey traffic rules to drive safely,” informed Muktesh Chander, Special CP (Traffic).
