TURA: In compliance with the SC order on road safety in the town area, a review meeting to chalk out follow up action on the same was held on Wednesday at the West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner’ Office in Tura.

During the meeting, Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC), S B Marak who chaired the meeting informed that plans and programmes to promote road safety and security to the pedestrians and commuters need to be reviewed every now and then for the welfare of the people of the town.

Lamenting on the fact that one-way traffic routes could not be implemented to ease traffic congestion in the town, she hoped that better proposals might come in place for proper traffic regulation in future.

Executive Engineer of PWD NEC Division, C N Sangma suggested that there should be no-stopping zones at several busy junctions in and around the town in order to ease traffic congestion in the town.

A proposal was also made to conduct awareness programmes relating to road safety for school children and all commercial drivers in the district which can be organized jointly by the Traffic in charge, District Transport office, District Administration and District School and Education officer.

The forming of a committee comprising of officials from line departments for joint inspection and identifying suitable sites for Zebra crossing was also suggested during the meeting.
