There is a need for special training of personnel associated with ambulance operation. Extra sensitivity should be taken with the victims/injured. Technology can be used to minimize the response time of the ambulance. Volunteers should also be involved in this work.
In view of the wide importance of road safety, an action plan for awareness campaign should be prepared in coordination with the concerned departments like Police, Traffic, Basic Education, Secondary Education, Technical Education, Higher Education, Transport, Urban Development, PWD etc. On May 18, with this action plan, there will be a dialogue with the public representatives and officials of all the urban bodies of the state, after which the road safety campaign will start.
The Chief Minister said that special efforts need to be made to ensure that children follow traffic rules in basic and secondary schools. Children should be given the rite of following traffic rules from the very beginning. Principals/principals/representatives of the university should be trained in relation to traffic rules. Meetings should also be held in schools with parents. Awareness-related Prabhat Pheri should be taken out by school children. People should be made aware about the traffic rules and obey them.
Poor design of speed breakers on roads becomes a factor in accidents every day. Special attention needs to be paid in this direction. Buses failing on the standards of fitness should not be allowed to ply on the road under any circumstances.
