The National Highway and Motorways Police has observed road safety week in connection with the efforts to reduce accidents and creating awareness among masses regarding traffic rules and regulations at training institute, Shaikhpura and Lahore.
The delegations from stakeholders like Rescue 1122, Nestle, Shell, transporter associations, students from universities, colleges, school and people from different walks of life especially who suffered losses in accidents will be invited to participate in the road safety programme. The DIG Syed Ibne Hussain, SSP/ Commandant Jehanzaib Khan Jogeazi, SSP Riaz Khan Gara and DG 1122 Dr Rizwan Naseer were also present on the occasion.
While speaking on the occasion the DIG Syed Ibne Hussain said NH&MP was the pioneer organisation in creating road safety responsiveness among the masses. Previously there was no notion of road safety approachability in Pakistan. With the establishment of the NH&MP, an entire new concept of traffic management has emerged. In fact road safety is a community issue. Its enormity necessitates acquaintance and enforcement of traffic rules and skills by public at large. He further said thousands of people lose their lives every year in road mishaps. Millions are injured and financial loses come to billions of rupees. In addition to immediately visible losses, even more painful are the emotional injuries that cannot be accounted for in monetary forms. SSP/Commandant Jehanzaib Khan Jogeazi said Motorway Police have been devoting its energies and efforts towards safety of road users.
