PREVENTING ROAD ACCIDENTS: In a bid to prevent road accidents, Haryana Police have come up with an innovative idea to paint the  back side of slow moving, stranded or illegally parked vehicles on highways  with fluorescent colors to prevent road accidents. To begin with, this drive has already been started in district Panipat of Karnal Range.  

          While stating this here today, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order), Mr Navdeep Singh Virk said that a number of accidents occur between vehicles on highways especially in the night due to lack of reflectors on such vehicles which resulted in loss of precious human lives.  The fluorescent painting on rear side of vehicles would be helpful in minimizing the risks of accidents at night as it alert and cautious commuters about the presence of vehicle ahead.

          “We are getting rear of such vehicles painted with fluorescent colors in Panipat under the supervision of IG Karnal Range. Districts Karnal and Kaithal would be covered shortly and later on, it would be replicated in other Ranges in collaboration with Traffic and Highways Police”, added Mr Virk.

          He said that Police will also launch a special drive to drill safety triangle reflectors on rear of vehicles in Panipat and Karnal districts to cut down the incidents related to fatal road accidents on highways. Road mishaps on highways could be avoided and precious lives saved if commuters follow traffic rules and keep reflectors in a good shape, he added.

          He said that as a result of our sustained efforts, the road fatalities have been declined by 6.7 percent in first four months of current year in the state. We aim to further bring down this figure in the days to come, he further added.

        The Chief Minister said that he has been carrying out equitable development in the state by following the couplet of Sant Kabir Das 'Na Kaahu Se Dosti-Na Kaahu Se Bair'. He said that in the last four-and-half years, the present State Government has worked to change the system in Haryana. He said, “We do not evaluate on the basis of class, gender, caste or region.

He said that about 32 lakh people have availed benefits of these schemes in last two years.

        Mr. Manohar Lal announced that from July 1, 2019, the State Government would organise tours for the people belonging to Scheduled Castes to visit the birth place of Sant Kabir Das and Sant Ravidas at Varanasi and pilgrimage of Maharshi Valmiki at Amritsar.

The Chief Minister said that in the first week of July, the cards of 1.25 lakh BPL card holders will be given to them at their doorsteps. He said that the phrase like “Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas” has been derived from the couplets of Sant Kabir Das.

        Finance Minister, Capt Abhimanyu said that the Haryana Government has done the task of reaching to the last person of the society, earlier this section was deprived of development and the former governments had been discriminating with this section. Since the government was formed under the leadership of Chief Minister, Manohar Lal, the government assured to support the poor and oppressed.
