Sting Newz Service: A “Safe Drive, Save Life” campaign was organized by the Nakashipara Highway Traffic Police in collaboration with the Dhubulia Traffic Unit and Dhubulia Police Station. On Wednesday morning, the program was aimed at raising awareness among the students of Dhubulia Subhash Chandra Girls’ School.

First, a discussion session was held at the school, where several police officials, including Nakashipara Highway Traffic Officer Shubankar Chatterjee, Dhubulia Traffic Officer Suman Kumar Banik, and Dhubulia Police Station Officer Ramprasad Mal, were present. The session focused on the rules of riding motorcycles and the importance of safe driving. Special emphasis was placed on the significance of wearing helmets and adhering to traffic laws.

After the meeting, an awareness rally was organized with the students, which circled Dhubulia market along NH-12 and concluded at the school. Each participating student was handed a Cadbury chocolate at the end of the rally.

In his speech, Nakashipara Highway Traffic Officer Shubankar Chatterjee stated, “We want these messages not to remain limited to the students only but to be passed on to their families.” He specifically highlighted the importance of wearing helmets while riding motorcycles, aiming to encourage women to wear helmets while riding scooters.

Dhubulia Traffic Officer Suman Kumar Banik added, “No more than two people should ever ride a motorcycle. The rider must have a driving license. Pollution and insurance certificates must be present. Our goal is to reduce accidents on NH-12.”

On the other hand, Dhubulia Police Officer Ramprasad Mal emphasized that everyone must drive according to traffic laws, and no excuses will be tolerated. Driving at high speeds is never acceptable, and strict legal action will be taken against those caught driving under the influence of alcohol.

It is worth noting that the National Highway NH-12, which runs through the heart of Dhubulia, was previously known as NH-34. Riding motorcycles without helmets on this highway is extremely dangerous, and accidents can happen at any moment. To save the lives of riders, the Traffic Police of Krishnanagar District have taken the initiative to implement programs like Safe Drive, Save Life.
