Coimbatore: The city police here will rope in college students to man the traffic at different junctions of Coimbatore. The police are also taking help from NGO Uyir in the matter.
Dressed in reflecting jackets, the college students will also be holding placards to create road safety awareness and request motorists to use helmets and seatbelts.
Managing trustee of the NGO, Dr S Rajasekaran said they had earlier set up Uyir Club to make college students actively take part in the campaigns to create road safety awareness. Currently, students from 24 city colleges are registered with the club.
“We have more than 1,200 students who are trained to assist the traffic police in regulating traffic at major junctions. We have also created a team of 25 students to take out road safety awareness campaigns in the city,” Rajasekaran was quoted as saying by The Times of India.
“We are planning to rope in college students from the Uyir Club in the next week and deploy them at various junctions on Avinashi Road and other stretches during the peak hours in the evening,” he added.
