Lack of traffic awareness is one the major part responsible for increase in accidents and fatalities , lack of enforcement resource person in traffic and irregularity of checking drive is also an important part responsible for those who knows the traffic rule but not follow the same. Lack of Road engineering and road furniture are also play an important role to increase in road accidents .Lack of required ambulance and Trauma centres are also responsible to increase causalities in road accidents. So for all these factors and reasons Road Safety action planning and implementations needed to minimize road accidents and fatalities in the district. 15 Awareness program done at different schools and collages in Dhanbad 78 School & institution done awareness programm in the year 2018 & 2019. 16 Schools visit for nodal officer appointment Dhanbad 17 Other Road Safety Activities…. 18 31st Road safety week Dhanbad 19 Pilot training workshop organised for HMV / BUS drivers. 20 M.V Act Violators Counselling at traffic police station. 19,408 vehicle drivers were counselled in the year 2018 & 2019. 21 Painting, Quiz competition and prize distribution in School & colleges 22 Flex and banner in public places 23 Measures taken by NH/SH/RCD for Road safety 24 Required Road Signage placed in different vulnerable points of MDR by Road Safety cell Dhanbad Randhir Verma Chowk Continue........
