THE PARTICIPATION of students was a must for compliance of traffic rules and they could play an important role in the solution of traffic problems in the city by educating others for the purpose, said the Additional Director General of Police (ADG) AC Sharma.
Addressing students, teachers, NCC cadets and Scouts on the conclusion of a traffic rally in a school at Sigra, the ADG said the solution of growing traffic problem was not possible unless and until students and common people became conscious of it.
The ADG gave away awards to three schools for outstanding performance in the rally and consolation prizes to other participating schools.
As part of the ongoing statewide traffic month, the Traffic Police of Varanasi organised a traffic awareness rally of school children in the city on Sunday.
Around 1000 students from around 30 schools participated in the rally. The SSP Ashutosh Pandey flagged off the rally from the Bengali Tola Inter college in the morning. The rally, traversing main areas of the city, culminated at the WH Smith School in Sigra. Traffic Inspector SK Malik co-ordinated the programme.
