The Traffic Police will disseminate information about rules and road safety in the local Kumaoni, Garhwali and Jaunsari dialects. Most of these messages, which are recorded, are disseminated in the Hindi language.
DGP Anil Raturi has directed the officials to use the local dialects while disseminating information about traffic rules and road safety from traffic booths.
At a review meeting presided over by Raturi, emphasis was laid on making people understand the road safety and traffic rules in their own language, which would help in better understanding in rural areas and compliance.
