Lessons on road safety
Recent surveys reveal that over thirty seven percent of those who succumb to injuries sustained in road accidents are not motorists, but pedestrians.

Also, many of those who are injured or killed are between the ages of twenty-five to fifty-five and are thus in the productive age group of the country.

A pedestrian awareness programme geared towards educating pedestrians and thus minimizing such accidents will be held on Wednesday at the Railway Headquarters Auditorium.

The programme, is organized in collaboration with the Transport Ministry and the Traffic Police Headquarters

The programme aims to educate the public on safety measures on the road, and to equip them with the skills to make their own contribution towards containing and minimizing the number of accidents.
