Superintendent of Police Tuhin Sinha on Tuesday said the district police would step up road safety measures by strengthening enforcement of traffic rules and expanding public awareness campaigns to curb road accidents and save lives.He was speaking at a programme in which Pharmagel Company, based at Parawada, handed over eight breath analysers to the district police under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.Mr. Sinha said the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), installed along National Highway 16 in the district, had detected a large number of traffic rule violations through video surveillance. The additional breath analysers would strengthen enforcement against drunk driving by enabling the police to conduct more frequent and extensive checks across the district, he said.He said strict action against motorists driving under the influence of alcohol would play a key role in reducing road accidents.Mr. Sinha urged riders and pillion riders of two-wheelers to wear ISI-certified helmets at all times. He also advised motorists to avoid traffic violations such as triple riding, over-speeding, wrong-side driving, dangerous overtaking, using mobile phones while driving and driving under the influence of alcohol.
