The National Road Safety Short Film Festival, which is taking place over two days in Raipur, the state capital of Chhattisgarh, was officially opened on Wednesday by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai. The city’s Medical College’s Atal Bihari Vajpayee Auditorium is hosting the two-day short film festival. Along with the guests, CM Sai also observed the road safety exhibition during the festival.
Addressing the program, CM Sai said, “Traffic police and the department continuously keep working to make people aware about road safety measures, but we ourselves should also strictly follow the road safety measures. Everyone’s life is very precious, small carelessness leads to road accidents and many people die in it. Many families get uprooted.”
The Chief Minister also praised the Traffic Department for organising the National Short Film Festival in the city with the purpose of road safety awareness. This film festival will prove helpful in making people aware to follow traffic rules, he added.
“The clipping played during the program shows the painful consequences of small negligence in a very impactful manner. These films will encourage people to follow the traffic and road safety rules,” CM Sai said.
