October 14, 2009
The Traffic Police have taken initiative to create awareness among children on traffic rules. As part of this, the Traffic Police will be distributing a booklet on the topic among the schoolchildren here. The booklet will be having songs on traffic rules as well as details regarding traffic rules. Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan released the booklet today. The 48-page booklet has five Malayalam songs and two English songs, besides notes on traffic rules. It would be distributed free of cost among third-standard and fourth-standard students. Around 3 lakh booklets would be distributed in the first phase. The scheme is launched by State Bank of India in association with Org People. Recently, the Traffic Police had launched a new logo, a Zebra named Pappu to create awareness among the public, especially the young people. The artist Nandan Pillai prepared the booklet for the public. Lets hope everyone would get to know the traffic rules.

I would say its a courageous step to make people aware about traffic rules, in Kerala (especially). Literacy doesn’t matter on Mortality, Kerala proved it. Its at this very crucial moments, where many pedestrians and two wheelers’ lives suffer to reach back to home safely.
Education begins at child hood. This policy will result to make better citizens in Kerala. So the civil society is at the threshold. Let’s open our mind to the concept of public safety.
Very pathetic things to be seen on Roads. Very learned and highly occupied citizens stop their vehicles either above or ahead of the pedestrians crossing. Whats the reason behind and the degree of enjoyment they derive from publically violating rules and regulations?????????
Lets hope that the Keralite will be civilised in near future.
Let this endeavour be a stepping stone.
