Muktesh Chander, special commissioner of police (Traffic), told us, "We will hold summer camps for children during the holidays, starting from May 18. We'll teach kids various aspects of road safety - what you should keep in mind after you get a driving license, the risks of underage driving and how you need to protest and not sit in a car if the person driving is drunk. We will also tell kids that they should only drive after they have got their licenses. In fact, they will be told that as kids, they should not let their parents flout traffic rules and ask them to wear seat belts. It will be an educational camp and will be conducted at our various training parks. We will also be taking them to junctions to see how we go about regulating traffic movement, and they will be involved in traffic management. The five-day camp will also enable us to reach out to schools and parents of the kids. After the five-day camp is over, they will get a Delhi Police certificate."
The traffic police has also been writing to the education department to make schools accountable if their students are found driving. "We have asked schools to appoint road safety coordinators, and we have asked these coordinators to inform parents about how to counsel kids who drive underage. We have written to the principals of schools and these letters are also sent to the education department, which says that the kids from a particular school are driving vehicles underage. How can I take the responsibility alone?
The idea is that parents, the PTA, principals and schools, all should be involved. If their school's students are doing something, isn't it their responsibility too? How can they say , `Humein nahi pata school ke bahar kya hua'. In the drive that we conducted, students from all prominent schools in the city were found driving vehicles," he said, adding, "Let the education department decide whether the schools should be accountable. Without the schools' involvement, we won't be able to address the issue of underage driving. We have seen that parents are scared of their kids and give in to children's demands to get a vehicle."
