-Special campaign of traffic police; Drivers are being made aware through loudspeakers at intersections, Jaipur. The traffic police in the capital Jaipur has taken a commendable step towards environmental protection and energy saving. A special awareness campaign is being run by Jaipur Police to keep the engines of vehicles off during traffic signal red light at the busy intersections of the city. The main objective of this initiative is to stop wastage of fuel and curb the increasing air and noise pollution in the city.
Announcement being made through loudspeaker
Jaipur Police personnel are standing at the intersections and communicating with the drivers through loudspeakers. Police say that whether it is a two-wheeler or a four-wheeler, if you are stopped at a red light, please switch off the engine of your vehicle. This will not only save your petrol and diesel, but will also be a major contribution to the national interest.
Why is this small initiative important?
According to experts, the average time at a traffic signal is 60 to 90 seconds. During this period, idling of the engine not only burns precious fuel but also increases the emission of toxic gases.
In a metropolis like Jaipur, where thousands of vehicles stop at red light every day, a small habit of keeping the engine switched off can reduce the import expenditure of petrol and diesel at individual and national level. It can improve air quality (AQI) by reducing carbon emissions, and switching off the engine will also drastically reduce noise at intersections.
Getting support from common people
This appeal of Jaipur Police is getting good support from the city residents. Amid rising fuel prices and increasing concerns about the environment, people are considering this initiative as a positive step. Many drivers have voluntarily started switching off their engines at red lights after this awareness message from the police.
police appeal
Jaipur Police has urged the city residents to be a part of this campaign not just as a rule, but as a responsible citizen. Police believe that only change in small habits can play a big role in national interest and environmental protection.
