In January 2025, 26 fatal and 36 non-fatal accidents were reported, while February saw 17 fatal and 39 non-fatal accidents. As part of the campaign, the police have been actively educating drivers on road safety and traffic laws.
Motorists are being urged to follow their designated lanes, avoid entering no-entry zones, and always wear helmets while riding two-wheelers. Police have also cautioned against allowing underage individuals to drive, as their lack of traffic rule knowledge increases the risk of accidents. The Faridabad Traffic Police continue their efforts to enhance road safety by enforcing regulations and raising awareness, ensuring that violators are held accountable while striving to prevent traffic congestion and accidents.
