Rajanna Sircilla District has launched a comprehensive road safety campaign under the directive of District Collector Garima Agrawal, implementing stringent measures to reduce traffic fatalities and accidents. The initiative, which operates under the guidance of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, focuses primarily on enforcing the ‘No Helmet – No Petrol’ policy across all fuel stations in the district. This aggressive approach aims to ensure that every two-wheeler rider wears a helmet before being allowed to refuel their vehicle.
The district administration has intensified its road safety measures through a multi-pronged strategy that goes beyond helmet enforcement. Collector Garima Agrawal has directed officials to identify and address accident-prone black spots throughout Rajanna Sircilla District. These high-risk zones are being systematically documented and remedial measures are being implemented to improve road infrastructure and signage at these critical locations.
To ensure sustained progress in road safety, the district administration has instituted monthly road safety reviews that bring together all relevant departments. These coordination meetings involve traffic police, transport authorities, public works department officials, and other stakeholders who collectively assess accident data, review enforcement measures, and plan corrective actions. The collaborative approach ensures that road safety remains a priority across all government departments operating in the district.
The ‘No Helmet – No Petrol’ initiative has been implemented with the cooperation of all petrol pump operators in the district. Fuel station owners have been instructed not to dispense petrol to any two-wheeler rider who arrives without wearing a helmet. This enforcement mechanism creates a practical deterrent and encourages helmet usage among motorcyclists and scooter riders. The district administration is monitoring compliance at fuel stations through regular inspections.
The road safety campaign in Rajanna Sircilla reflects the state government’s broader commitment to reducing traffic fatalities across Telangana. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has emphasized that saving lives on roads is a top priority for his administration. The district-level implementation of these measures, under Collector Garima Agrawal’s leadership, demonstrates coordinated action between state policy directives and local enforcement mechanisms to create safer roads for all citizens.
