Following the tragic Tengapora accident, which claimed the lives of two students, Srinagar city has witnessed a significant decrease in road accidents. The tragedy, which sent shockwaves through the community, prompted immediate action by local authorities and the traffic police.
In response to the incident, the traffic police enforced a strict ban on underage driving, a move widely praised by residents. The authorities also conducted awareness campaigns, urging parents to discourage their minor children from driving. Many parents, reflecting on the Tengapora tragedy, have embraced these measures, emphasizing the importance of road safety.
Despite the encouraging developments, concerns linger in some interior areas of the city, where minors are still occasionally seen driving two-wheelers, particularly Scooties. Locals call for enhanced vigilance in these areas to ensure consistent enforcement of the rules.
The traffic police have reiterated their commitment to maintaining road safety and have urged citizens to report any violations.
