In an innovative move to curb road accidents, the Dima Hasao police have initiated a unique approach to incentivize adherence to traffic regulations. Individuals who wear helmets while riding two-wheelers are being presented with the traditional gamosa as a token of appreciation by police officers.
The heartening initiative was shared by the Dima Hasao Police on their official X account, where they posted a video showcasing the commendation of a father-son duo for their commitment to traffic rules. The post lauded the duo, stating, “Kudos to the father-son duo for obeying traffic rules and staying safe.”
This initiative follows a stringent enforcement campaign, marked by the installation of signboards prohibiting entry into the Dima Hasao district for individuals not complying with traffic rules. The signboards boldly declare, “No helmet, no seat belt, no entry into Dima Hasao,” signaling the police’s firm stance on traffic violations.
However, despite these efforts, road accidents persist in the district. A recent bus accident resulted in one fatality and multiple injuries, underscoring the urgency of addressing road safety concerns.
In response, the Dima Hasao police have ramped up their efforts to ensure the safety of motorists and passengers. They have launched extensive awareness campaigns aimed at preventing road accidents and promoting road safety, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to protecting lives on the road.
