In a bold move that has significantly reshaped road safety in Punjab, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s leadership has initiated a transformative journey with the establishment of the Road Safety Force  (SSF). This pioneering initiative aims not just to enhance road safety but to save lives, foster awareness, and build a safer environment for all.

A Commitment to Safety

The SSF has become a beacon of hope, marking Punjab as the first state in India to create a dedicated force focused solely on preventing road accidents and assisting injured individuals. With a robust workforce of nearly 5,000 personnel strategically positioned every 30 kilometers, the SSF is always just minutes away from any reported incident. Responding within 5 to 7 minutes, these trained professionals provide immediate first aid and, if necessary, transport victims to hospitals—truly a lifeline for those in peril.

Data-Driven Success

Since the SSF's inception, the statistics speak volumes. Punjab once reported an alarming 15 to 18 fatalities daily due to road accidents. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the SSF, that number has dramatically decreased to just 1 or 2 deaths per day. This incredible reduction highlights the force's effectiveness in not only managing traffic but also in preventing tragic loss of life.

Advanced Technology at Work

Equipped with high-tech vehicles and cutting-edge tools, the SSF is well-prepared to tackle the challenges of modern traffic management. These vehicles are not just ambulances; they are equipped to handle a range of emergencies, from accidents to offering assistance to those in distress on the roads.

Transforming Traffic Management

The Maan government has not stopped at merely establishing the SSF. Under Chief Minister Mann’s leadership, significant reforms are being introduced within the Punjab police system. New protocols are being implemented to tackle reckless driving, including stricter measures against speeding and driving under the influence. With these proactive steps, the state is on track to foster a culture of responsible driving, making the roads safer for everyone.

Engaging the Community

The SSF's mission goes beyond just numbers; it’s about creating a community where road safety is a shared responsibility. The force engages with local residents, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about road safety practices. By fostering this collaborative spirit, they are instilling a culture of safety and accountability across Punjab.

Appreciating the Mann Government

A heartfelt appreciation is due for the Mann Government's commitment to enhancing the lives of Punjab's citizens. The establishment of the SSF is a testament to their vision for a safer state. Through innovative initiatives and dedicated resources, the government is taking significant strides to address road safety, reflecting a genuine concern for public welfare. The foresight and leadership exhibited by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and his administration in launching this initiative deserve commendation, as they are truly setting a benchmark for other states to follow.

Join the Movement

This initiative is not just about reducing statistics; it’s about restoring lives and uniting families their loved ones. The Road Safety Force is a testament to what can be achieved when leadership, technology, and community engagement converge toward a common goal.
