Delhi Traffic Police Launches Road Safety Awareness Drive: Students & Citizens Join Hands

Delhi- In a steadfast commitment to building safer roads and encouraging responsible driving behavior, the Delhi Traffic Police, under the leadership of Satya Vir Katara, Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic Headquarters), has launched a series of extensive Road Safety Awareness Programmes across Delhi. These initiatives engaged a wide spectrum of citizens — including students, cyclists, auto/taxi drivers, public transport staff, and daily commuters — with a focus on traffic rule compliance, women’s safety, and the importance of disciplined road usage.

Engaging Young Citizens in Traffic Management – A Step Towards Safer Roads

As part of the implementation of the recommendations made during the DGsP/IGsP Conference 2024, the Delhi Traffic Police has taken an innovative step by actively involving school students in road safety and traffic management awareness. Under this drive, a total of 118 students from Manav Mangal Public School, Dev Samaj Modern School (Sukhdev Vihar), and Govt. Boys Sr. Sec. School (Sarai Rohilla) visited the Traffic Training Park.

During the visit, students were given practical knowledge of traffic management at intersections, learning how signals, signage, and lane discipline work in real-time. Experienced Traffic Inspectors and Road Safety Cell staff guided them through interactive demonstrations, safety drills, and real-life scenarios to explain the importance of rule compliance, pedestrian safety, and disciplined road usage. The initiative not only provided hands-on learning but also motivated the young participants to act as ambassadors of road safety in their schools and neighborhoods, thereby strengthening the culture of safe mobility across Delhi.

Inspiring Young Minds: Road Safety Awareness in Schools

In alignment with Delhi Traffic Police’s vision of shaping a safer future, special awareness sessions were conducted in schools to sensitize young learners about road discipline and responsible behavior. Interactive programmes were organized with ME Van displays at following schools: G.G.S.S.School East Gokulpuri loni road, MCPS J.J. colony no.-2 Nangloi, SKV Tuglakabad Railways colony and MCPS co-ed school Shakti nagar More than 859 students and 30 teachers actively participated in activities including demonstrations, group discussions, and a Road Safety Quiz Competition.
