Kashyap was chairing the District Road Safety Committee meeting held here on Thursday. Kashyap said, "Tourists will arrive in Shimla to celebrate Christmas and New Year, and ensuring the safety of all tourists is the priority of the district administration. Therefore, temporary checkposts will be set up at various locations between Shoghi and Taradevi during this period, where ambulance facilities will also be available so that people can receive immediate medical assistance in case of any accident". Kashyap instructed the police department to identify the locations for setting up the temporary checkposts. He said that the data on black spots in the district is outdated, so the Public Works Department, Himachal Road Transport Corporation, ambulance operators, and the police department should share the data from all sub-divisions with the Regional Transport Officer so that an updated list of black spots can be prepared and a future action plan can be formulated. He said that based on this report, the black spots on the most vulnerable roads will be repaired to ensure the safety of people's lives. The DC instructed the Regional Transport Officer to obtain information about the activities conducted under road safety from the schools that were provided with a budget for organizing various activities under road safety. The DC said that the traffic lights installed at various locations in Shimla are either switched off or malfunctioning. He instructed that all the lights be repaired so that traffic can flow smoothly. During the meeting it was pointed out in the meeting that in many places, people do not park their vehicles properly on both sides of the road, which leads to road accidents and traffic jams....
