Goa's Chief Minister Addresses Rising Road Accident Deaths
Every day in Goa, someone sadly dies in a road accident.
The Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, shared this worrying news and mentioned that over 300 people die each year from these accidents.
To help make the roads safer, the government is starting a new program.
It's called 'Wrong Side of the Road,' and it's like a short lesson for drivers using videos.
Soon, everyone who wants a new or renewed driver's license in Goa will have to watch this program.
The Chief Minister pointed out that while people were very careful about the coronavirus, they aren't as careful about road accidents.
Goa's Chief Minister stated that at least one person dies daily in road accidents.
The total number of road accident deaths exceeds 300 annually.
The Directorate of Transport introduced the 'Wrong Side of the Road' project.
This project is a 45-minute video-based learning module.
The module will soon be mandatory for new and renewed driving licenses.
