Alirajpur: Road Safety Week is being celebrated in Alirajpur district of Madhya Pradesh and the transport department introduced a new initiative to make people aware of traffic rules.

Alirajpur: Traffic policeman for one day after violating traffic rules

In order to do something different, the transport department decided to assign traffic police personnel's duties to rule breaker for one day so that they will know the rules and will not break them in the future.

During the checking, the police caught people who violated the rules and gave them a traffic police jacket and made them perform duties.

One of the traffic rule violators who was later made policeman for one day said, " I didn't wear a helmet after which they asked me to perform the duties of a policeman. Now I am enjoying spreading awareness."

Whether this initiative of the police will be effective in making the people aware or not, but by becoming a one-day traffic policeman, people could see the challenges police face.

Such initiatives by the department are really helping people to know the traffic rules as well as the tough duties performed by the policemen on a daily basis.
