Kathmandu, August 11:

Bhishma Prasai, Senior Superintendent of Police at the Valley Traffic Police Office (VTPO), Ramshahpath, said today that the VTPO is going to create awareness among students from class one to higher secondary level in the Valley.

“Making students aware will not only help improve proper traffic management, but is expected to make better citizens in terms of following traffic rules in the days ahead,” Prasai said while speaking at an interaction organised at the VTPO.

The interaction was organised to receive suggestions from various school owners before launching the campaign. “We will teach them the role, duties and working procedures of traffic police as well as the duties and responsibilities of students,” Jagat Man Shrestha, Deputy Superintendent of Police at the Valley Traffic Police Office, said.

According to him, Traffic Police would have different syllabi to teach students as per the level of students. “We will simply make primary level students familiar with traffic and traffic rules whereas we will include meaning of traffic lights, causes of accidents, methods to avoid accidents and ways to adopt safe traffic,” he added.
