Q. Which state government has recently launched 'Road Safety Force' to prevent road accidents?
Answer:
Punjab
Notes: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann launched the 'Road Safety Force' in Jalandhar, making Punjab the first state to initiate a dedicated road safety and traffic management force. Concerned about the high fatality rate of 17-18 lives lost daily in road accidents, Mann deployed 144 hi-tech vehicles and 5000 personnel to streamline traffic and enhance road safety across the state. This marks a significant step in addressing the pressing issue of road accidents in Punjab.
