Public needs education in traffic rules: Gaur

BHOPAL: Four days after taking charge as state's home minister, octogenarian Babulal Gaur, on Thursday, said it is not police, but people who need to change and improve their traffic sense.

Speaking to mediapersons, Gaur said, "People do not follow traffic rules which is a major reason for accidents. Drunk driving is a menace and needs to be curbed. He argued that people don't want to stop at traffic signals and look for an opportunity to speed-off, even when the red lights are on."

"What is needed is public education in traffic rules. And, we have decided to organize a Jan Jagran Abhiyan from January 5 to January12, during which the police department will observe Traffic Awareness Week,'' said Gaur.

During the awareness week, the department will run special campaigns to make Bhopal people and other cities aware of traffic rules.
