00:00If we talk about it, if we talk about 90% more, we are going to get rid of the road and we want to get more sensitized to the young people who are sensitized.
00:08This is a situation like Scissorland. It's a state that is a country.
00:14The youth is 18 below. You don't give bikes, you don't give cars.
00:19There are many cases in the last year that they were almost 18 below.
00:23They gave their parents to their parents.
00:25I don't know how much love happened.
00:27The love of your child's life is not my opinion.
00:35We need to make a difference in society.
00:39Our children, which are our manners, our vehicles, don't give motorcycles.
00:46We go to all to the observance of age.
01:00Unfortunately, we are walking by the road.
01:03Every individual, the regardless of age, have been given.
01:13It is not our responsibility.
01:15This is our responsibility.
01:29Today is the day 4th UN Global Road Safety week.
01:32Today is the government college of education in Kashmir.
01:34There is a road safety workshop and walk-a-thon organized.
01:38It is our responsibility.
01:44The purpose of this campaign is to start a trade.
01:47If we talk about Jemuhu Kashmir, we are going to lose our hands.
01:52We want to be more sensitized to young people.
01:55This year's theme is to make walking safe and make cycling safe.
01:59Our smart city is also prepared with a good infrastructure.
02:03The purpose of this is to promote walking and cycling
02:06and the conditions we see every day in the traffic.
02:09We also get a good look.
02:11Today, we see messages from different social media platforms.
02:14We observe any accident every day in any district.
02:18So, to save our knowledge and give a strong-rooted message to road safety.
02:23These are all different programs organized.
02:26We are also establishing road safety clubs.
02:28In the past four days, the young children have registered as a road safety scout.
02:34So, I hope that in the time,
02:35with the traffic police,
02:37with the student and the smart city,
02:38with the RTO and Kashmir,
02:39with the different training programs,
02:41where they will be sensitized to a good age.
02:45Because we believe that the more education, the more awareness.
02:49We will be able to see the more awareness.
02:50As we are involved in education,
02:51we will be able to see the more awareness.
02:53But today, we are also doing this
02:56that road safety should be part of the curriculum.
03:00I mean, this message should reach to the honorable minister,
03:03Nitin Gattari,
03:04that like music is taught,
03:06sports is taught,
03:07art and drawing is taught,
03:09colleges and schools are taught in a very low age.
03:11So, we should also teach traffic and road safety.
03:14We should also teach traffic and road safety.
03:16And we can see a better environment on the road.
03:19Actually, the awareness is basically related to all the stations of Jumar and Kashmir.
03:33Now, the minister has said that the state of JNK is a state.
03:39It is a country, a state.
03:41That means it is together.
03:43But there is no accident in a year.
03:45It was approximately 9000 and some accidents are happening here.
03:49This awareness is that our children are not in trouble.
03:54To be gaunt a society.
03:56There are many people who are in a society.
03:58We don't have to be disappointed.
04:00This is the awareness that they are happening on accident.
04:03For the result, the youth are 18 blows.
04:05You don't give bikes.
04:07They won't give cars.
04:09The last year was the number of children.
04:11It was almost 18 years ago.
04:13They gave their parents to their parents.
04:15I don't know how much love happened.
04:17The love of your child's life,
04:20I don't think of love.
04:23I don't think of love.
04:25Sir, I got a lot of learning.
04:27Our A.T.O. Sir came here from Kashmir
04:30and S.P.S.A.B.
04:31They had a great deal.
04:33If they are in society,
04:36there are many factors.
04:39We don't have to do our parents.
04:43We have to participate in this today.
04:45We want to work on a voluntary basis.
04:49We want to work on a voluntary basis.
