He also announced that one week every year would be observed as Road Safety Week to enlighten people on the importance of safe driving and road rules. 

“To create awareness on this subject, the government has taken various measures, such as production of short films on the issue, forming patrol teams to identify and punish rule violators, establishing a road safety mission and other initiatives.  The number of road accident fatalities decreased by 54 per cent and the number of road accidents by 34 per cent in 2020,” he added.
