Noting that a lot of people do not wear seat belts or helmets, she said, “Awareness has to be raised in a way that these people follow the law as part of their lifestyle and culture and not because of fear.” Shukla said government vehicles should follow traffic rules. DGP Singh noted that challans issued under campaigns for failure to wear seat belts or helmets in the two districts, were lower than expected and asked officers to focus on this. During review of reports, the state police chief acknowledged the lack of manpower in Gautam Buddh Nagar and Ghaziabad, for road traffic operations. “The DGP assured the district officers of providing the required manpower for these two districts, to ensure their development as ‘model cities’ in road safety,” the statement said.
