He said, "Our concerted campaigns and exercises have significantly reduced the number of road accidents and deaths, however the campaign continues with gusto. Keep safety paramount on our roads!"
However, Banerjee did not cite any numbers to support her claim of reduction in the number of road accidents in West Bengal.
"We have to give more importance to road safety, and especially to prevent accidents on the roads. Safe Drive Save Life has been conceptualized to save lives," he said.
