Jhunjhunu Cops Issuing ‘I Am Safe’ Certificates To Commuters For Following Traffic Rules

In the past month, more than 150 residents of Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan have been rewarded a new kind of certificates by the district police. The so-called “I am safe” certificates are being given to commuters for following traffic rules

The district police initiated a campaign to felicitate responsible drivers and riders with the objective of spreading awareness about traffic rules among the public. According to Jhunjhunu’s Superintendent of Police, Gaurav Yadav, the idea for the campaign came after local police launched a drive called “Adarsh traffic zone” to curb cases of accidents in the district.

Data available with the state’s traffic police indicates that there were a total of 10,320 deaths due to road accidents in 2018 in Rajasthan.

Jhunjhunu’s SP Yadav says that two months after the Adarsha traffic zone drive was started, the police launched the “I am safe” campaign for felicitating people who followed traffic rules. The approach of the “I am safe” campaign was diametrically opposite to the earlier campaign.

While under the Adarsh traffic zone drive the approach was to take punitive action, under the latter campaign, the approach was to reward those who were on the other end of the spectrum.
