Srinagar, Nov 22 (KNO): In a bid to enhance the road safety and curb traffic violations, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri on Friday said the administration has planned to install additional CCTV cameras along the highway stretch in Kashmir. He said the recent Tangpora road accident prompted the administration to adopt a more proactive approach to road safety. Speaking in Srinagar during the ongoing Heritage Week celebrations, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, VK Bidhuri, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), stressed the importance of safeguarding the future, particularly by ensuring the safety of children. He described children as “our future” and stressed the necessity of collaboration between locals, traffic police, school administrations, and other stakeholders to create a safer road environment. Bidhuri added that the newly installed cameras will be crucial not only for road safety but also from a security perspective. “The administration will also make sure non-functional cameras are repaired and monitored regularly,” he said. Addressing concerns regarding the enforcement of traffic laws, the Div Com said that no one will face unnecessary harassment during the traffic drive, as law applies equally to everyone and those who have all the documents will not face any problem.
