Doda, Feb 11: A road safety awareness program was today conducted in the remote area of Dessa here under the leadership of ARTO Doda, Rajesh Gupta.

The Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) conducted road safety programs in key locations such as Bhagwah, Dessa Gai, and Mazmi, where large gatherings of locals, drivers, and MVD officials converged.

Led by Inspector Robim Parihar, the MVD team explained rules and guidelines focusing on critical aspects of road safety, including avoiding mobile phone usage while driving and overspeed, ensuring proper vehicle fitness and maintaining tire conditions to prevent accidents, especially in hilly areas.

In remote areas like Bhagwah Gai,, and Mazmi, the emphasis was on counseling the public about the significance of road safety, with a particular emphasis on driving in hilly regions.

Additional driving tips included raising awareness about the presence of black ice, a common hazard in colder climates, which can lead to accidents if not approached with caution.
