Kulgam: A traffic awareness program aimed at educating students, drivers, and passengers about road safety was successfully held at Kulgam. The initiative sought to raise awareness on the importance of adhering to traffic rules and adopting safe driving practices in a bid to reduce accidents and fatalities.
The event was led by DTI Qazigund, Inspector Lalit Sharma, under the supervision of DySP Kulgam Mohammad Aslam and the overall guidance of SSP Traffic Rural Kashmir, Ravinder Pal Singh. Key safety measures were discussed, highlighting the vital role that both drivers and passengers play in ensuring road safety.
