Phagwara police hold road safety drive at LPU

In a proactive initiative aimed at promoting road safety and responsible civic behaviour among youth, the Phagwara Traffic Police organised a seminar and interactive session with NCC cadets of the 8 Punjab Battalion at Lovely Professional University (LPU) today. The session was led by Traffic Inspector Aman Kumar Daveshwar and held under the guidance of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shri Toora.

The seminar focused on raising awareness about traffic rules, public safety measures and the role of young citizens in fostering a culture of responsible road usage. Speaking at the event, Inspector Daveshwar emphasised the increasing relevance of road safety education in light of rising traffic-related incidents and violations. He explained key traffic regulations, the dangers of reckless driving and the importance of adhering to safety protocols such as helmet and seatbelt usage, avoidance of mobile phone distractions while driving and the need for pedestrian discipline.

The NCC cadets, known for their disciplined training and civic orientation, were actively engaged throughout the session. Inspector Daveshwar encouraged them to become role models in their communities and to act as ambassadors for road safety, spreading awareness among peers, family and the general public.

“The youth have immense potential to bring about positive change. If they are educated and involved in traffic discipline early on, they can significantly reduce the rate of accidents and violations,” Inspector Daveshwar stated during his address.
