The Hyderabad traffic police recently held a traffic awareness program at Government High School Risala Bazar, Bollaram. Led by ACP Traffic Training Institute, G Shankar Raju, the officials spoke to students about road safety and traffic rules. They discussed precautions for crossing the road, walking on the road, and using pedestrian signals.
Students were also educated about the dangers of triple riding, driving without a license, and ignoring traffic signals. More than 250 students, teachers, and staff participated in the program. The senior police officials stressed the importance of teaching children about traffic rules early on, suggesting that road safety be included in their curriculum.
During the event, the officer emphasized crossing the road only at designated zebra lines and using footpaths. Wearing helmets was highlighted as essential for both riders and pillion riders. The school management was also informed about the issue of auto-rickshaws carrying more than five students, with a request to report such incidents to the police.
