A programme aimed at enhancing public knowledge and attitudes towards ensuring road safety by preventing daily road accidents has been launched under the “Clean Sri Lanka” initiative.
Accordingly, two awareness programmes titled “Clean Steps – Safety Roads – Be United for Road Safety”, focusing on road safety and security for schoolchildren, were held today (26) at the Rabindranath Tagore Memorial Auditorium in University of Ruhuna and near the Matara Beach Park.
With the support of the Sri Lanka Police, a road safety exhibition was held near the Matara Beach Park from 8.00 a.m. today. Approximately 1,300 students from schools in the Matara education zone participated in the event.
The objective of this programme is to teach road discipline and encourage adherence to traffic laws among schoolchildren from an early age, shaping them into law-abiding and responsible citizens in the future.
Furthermore, the programme seeks to strengthen school road safety committees by increasing awareness of traffic regulations, reducing accidents and encouraging responsible conduct on the roads.
The Presidential Media Division is fully responsible for socializing the views, actions, decisions and statements of His Excellency the President through the media. Electronic, print and new media will contribute to this through a credible and engaging approach.
The media department works as a source of information on the subject of the President’s vision and mission by maintaining good coordination with public and private media organizations and journalists.
National policies, plans and measures are explained to the people through the use of high quality media. Identify the fallacies and reveal the truth.
