Mahender Reddy IPS, DGP said in India every year lot of people are losing their lives due to accidents and the Police Department putting lot of efforts to prevent accidents through various programs like this Conclave on Road Safety and Traffic Management. Appreciating the efforts put by Chennai Police, he has noted that Chennai has achieved a big success in bringing down the fatal accident deaths by 35 % in two years from 2016 to 2018.
DGP has mentioned that in Western Countries the Police takes the responsibility of only law enforcement only and road infra and other related to traffic is the responsibility of the Engineering Departments. He has mentioned an example; at the weekends in Western Countries, all the Engineering Departments Engineers only will maintain all the traffic congestion issues and the Police will only do the vigilance and enforce the Law. But, whereas in India it the Police who takes the responsibility of the Public Safety and coordinates with all the respective stakeholders for the Road Safety and traffic management.
