Jr NTR participates in traffic police annual meet

Gachibowli : "God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers. So parents couldn't be everywhere hence soldiers and police are created," said Jr NT Rama Rao, Tollywood actor, while addressing a gathering of about 1500 people at the 1st Cyberabad Police Annual Conference 2021 organised by Cyberabad Traffic Police at Sandhya Convention Hall at Gachibowli on Wednesday.

He further added, "I have come here not as an actor but as the sad family member who lost two family members in the road accidents. I have lost my father Nandamuri Harikrishna, in a road accident near Nalgonda and also lost my brother Janaki Ram in a highway accident. Both lost their lives for no fault of theirs and both these incidents send a strong message on road safety."

Apart from this , Cyberabad police launched two highway patrol vehicles which would be deployed on Hyderabad- Bijapur highway and a new initiative SAVIOR was launched. SAVIOR is Save Accident Victims on the Road, that highlights and spreads the importance of golden hour treatment.

Sandeep Shandilya, Additional DGP, Railways and Road Safety said nearly hundreds lose their lives every year in Cyberabad alone. In 30 out of 100 accidents, precious lives are lost. When this is compared to Tamil Nadu, it is higher.
