LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath convened a meeting of the State Road Safety Council on the first day of the new year and issued crucial directives to all departments involved in road safety.
He noted that mishaps claim 25,000-26,000 lives annually, attributing these to a lack of awareness and urged effective implementation of Road Safety Month in all districts.
He emphasised that district road safety committees, chaired by district magistrates, must hold their meetings by January 5 and road safety awareness programmes initiated in schools and colleges from January 6-10.
The CM also directed the deployment of additional Prantiya Rakshak Dal (PRD) personnel and Home Guards to ensure an efficient traffic management system during the Mahakumbh.
"Road Safety Month should be implemented effectively across all 75 districts, not just in Lucknow. Monthly road safety meetings should also be held at the district level, chaired by the DM and attended by key officials such as the SP or SSP, municipal commissioner, RTO, PWD officers, district school inspector, basic education officer and chief medical officer," Adityanath said.
The state government will review the progress of these district-level initiatives every three months, the CM said.
He instructed officials to identify districts and locations prone to accidents as well as devise action plans to address the underlying causes and ensure their resolution.
