Telangana Transport Department Highlights Progress in Road Safety

Telangana has recorded a 3.3% decline in road accidents, according to the state Transport Department. Transport officials have highlighted the reduction as a positive development amid reports of rising road accidents in several other states across the country. The department attributes the improvement to continued efforts to educate motorists about road safety and encourage compliance with traffic regulations. Officials say awareness initiatives have been conducted to promote responsible driving and reduce the risks associated with traffic violations.

Transport Department Joint Commissioner Chandra Shekhar said coordination with the police department has played an important role in these efforts. Awareness programmes have been organised to familiarise road users with safety rules and encourage them to follow traffic regulations. The department believes that sustained public awareness and cooperation between enforcement agencies can help prevent accidents and improve road safety. However, the period covered by the reported 3.3% decline and the underlying accident figures were not specified in the information provided.
