Now, road safety lessons await traffic violators in Delhi
The Delhi Traffic Police has launched a month-long 'Traffic Pathshala' campaign that requires traffic violators to attend 15-minute road safety counselling sessions alongside paying fines. The initiative aims to shift driver behavior through education and awareness rather than relying solely on monetary penalties.
When Chandan Kumar, a delivery agent in Delhi, was intercepted by the police on Sri Aurobindo Marg for riding his motorcycle without a helmet, he expected to be let off after paying a challan. Instead, he was made to sit through an impromptu session on road safety along with 15 to 20 other violators before being permitted to resume his journey. The exercise was part of ‘Traffic Pathshala’, a month-long awareness campaign being conducted by Delhi Traffic Police from July 1 to 31.
