Everyday many people
are involved in road accidents. Some are killed. Many more are injured or
maimed. So it is important for us to learn to use the roads properly and
safely. No sane person would like to be involved in an accident. An enlightening informative session on
“Traffic Rules and Regulations ”
was conducted at Witty International School on Friday 23rd January
2015 .Witty
International School has always tried to create awareness of various topics
through workshops and seminars to guide
the students.
The growing number of
accidents in the city is a severe
concern . Witty International School invited the experts from the traffic police department to conduct a
workshop on the importance of obeying
traffic rules. Experts explained various traffic rules
and regulations during the seminar. They apprised the students of the road
safety norms and also warned them that any negligence on road may cause serious
road mishap. The traffic police have undertaken a drive to educate people and create an awareness
among them about traffic rules. Educating the
youngsters, so that when they
drive, they not only ensure their own safety but also the safety of others on
the road was an important topic covered during the session.
One of the police
officers enacted the role of Yamaraj, the God of Death. He emphasised through this act , the agony
and the pain that family members face when a dear one meets with an accident. Several
videos on safe driving showcasing the importance of wearing helmets and seat
belts was also shown to the students. The headmistress of the secondary section
, Dr. Sabina Keshwani stated, ” One may
find stunts and driving fast, thrilling and exciting but it can lead to serious
fatalities”.
The seminar was
concluded by giving away a token of appreciation by the headmistress to the
traffic police department. The students thoroughly enjoyed the programme and
took a pledge that they would follow the traffic rules and regulations and they
would also pass on this vital information to their family and friends.
