Telangana DGP B Shivadhar Reddy urged motorists to avoid overtaking to reduce road accidents during the launch of the ‘Arrive Alive’ campaign in Nirmal. As part of the initiative, radium stickers and first aid kits were distributed to heavy vehicle drivers at a toll plaza on NH-44.
Ramagundam Police Commissioner Amber Kishore Jha announced a target to reduce road accidents by 30 per cent annually within commissionerate limits. As part of the ‘Arrive-Alive’ programme, a coordinated plan involving municipal, education, health, transport and other departments is being prepared.
