Roses for traffic violators in city

SHILLONG: Traffic violators who violate traffic rules in the city on Friday will not be issued hefty challans by the traffic personnel but instead they will receive flowers for violating traffic rules.
The Shillong Traffic Police has come up with this noble idea to create traffic awareness in the city on the occasion of Road Safety Week.
The cops will be handing over roses to violators in junctions like IGP point, Secretariat area and Rilbong junction.
The Road Safety Week was initiated by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways with an aim to raise public awareness about traffic rules and ultimately reduce casualties due to road accidents.
It is observed annually to make people more aware of traffic rules and to persuade them to follow them.
Non-government organisations and private firms across the country will join hands with the government to provide logistic support to the Road Safety Week campaign.
