Youth Services Department with the help of NSS units in Mansa today launched the program of installing reflectors on vehicles so that the incidents of road accidents can be reduced this foggy season.This program was started by SSP Mansa Mandhir Singh who installed reflectors on the vehicles.Speaking during the occasion SSP said that installing the reflectors on rear and front of a vehicle helps in instantly spotting and noticing a stagnant or slow moving vehicle on road during the fog or in pitch darkness.“In view of the rising road accidents, we all must focus our attention towards the road safety and let’s pledge not to take the safety precautions lightly during fog this winter,” he said.He urged the people to get all their vehicles fitted with the reflectors to avoid any untoward incident especially during the night or early hours. He stressed upon the need of installing reflectors upon all commercial vehicles including small daily commute vehicles and tractor trolleys.Deputy Director of Youth Services Raghbir Mann said that all the villagers in Mansa would be made aware of the importance of reflectors. He said that no vehicle should be parked at roadside without a reflector as there had been instances in the past where a fast moving vehicle collided with a stationed vehicle due to lack of visibility in the absence of a reflector.
