Noida, Sept. 9 -- To reduce accidents by 50%, UP Transport Department has plans to build a community-based volunteer support system under the 5E (Enforcement, Engineering, Education, Emergency Care, Evaluation) model of road safety programme, officials said on Monday. Officials said these volunteers "Sadak Suraksha Saathi" (SSS) will work during high risk time (3 to 9pm). "The 'Uttar Pradesh SSS' system will combine visible presence, behavioural change, and granular data to deliver measurable reductions in crashes," said UP transport commissioner BN Singh in a statement. These volunteers' role will include monitoring school-zone marshalling, pedestrian/crossing assistance. Noida traffic police have nearly 500 personnel in the district. Brajesh Kumar, a traffic volunteer, said, "The department should divide the volunteer ratio according to the population and traffic issues of the district." According to Noida Traffic Police, 797 accidents took place in 2025 from January to August, killing 311 and injuring 585. In 2024, 714 accidents were reported, in which 304 died and 666 were injured.Arun Singh...
