‘District stands first in State in reduction of fatal accidents in January’
Fifty-year-old Koduri Jayaramulu, who lost his son Koduri Ramu in a fatal accident, was surprised when a team of police officials led by Superintendent of Police Malika Garg visited him at a Pottisubbaiahpalem, a remote village near Vetapalem in Chirala division.
The SP consoled the bereaved family members and gave a helmet to Mr. Jayaramulu for a safe ride. Now, Mr. Jayaramulu is at the forefront of an awareness campaign impressing upon motorcyclists to compulsorily wear the head gear to reduce fatality in accidents.
The targeted awareness programme has been taken up mainly in villages which has seen accidents recently. “There is generally an aversion towards wearing a helmet among villagers. Only by citing some real life examples can we can bring a change in their behaviour,” she explained in a conversation with The Hindu.
