Addressing the gathering, SP Lalrinpuia Varte emphasised that road safety is a shared responsibility and must be taken seriously by everyone. He stated that road safety is not only for drivers but also for pedestrians. Highlighting the growing risk of mobile phone usage while walking or crossing roads, he urged the public to exercise greater caution.
He further called upon motorists to drive responsibly, avoid over-speeding, and regulate speed according to time and location. “Traffic rules and regulations are not meant to burden us but are designed for our safety. If we follow them sincerely, many accidents can be prevented,” he said, stressing the importance of collective efforts between the government and the public to reduce road mishaps.
