Addressing the gathering, Dr Singh highlighted the government’s focused approach towards safer roads and cleaner air. “Road safety is not a one-day campaign—it is a continuous commitment. Through initiatives like these, we are working to ensure that people not only understand traffic rules but follow them responsibly,” he said.
Emphasizing the importance of awareness at a young age, the Minister added: “Students are the future of our nation. Educating them about road safety today will shape a more responsible generation tomorrow. It is equally important to discourage underage driving and instil discipline at an early stage.”
On tackling drunken driving, the minister said that government has adopted a combination of enforcement and behavioural interventions.
The sustained efforts of the Delhi government have already led to a noticeable reduction in such incidents.
“We remain confident that with the measures and continued public cooperation instances of drunk driving will decline further in the coming years,” the minister added.
