District Traffic Police Office, Rupandehi has conducted a 'Samjhai-Bujhai' campaign at Sunauli border crossing to inform Indian drivers-co-drivers about the traffic rules of Nepal.

This campaign has been conducted at the Bhairahawa Customs Office premises since Friday to train more than 1,000 Indian drivers and co-drivers about traffic rules in a week.

Most of the Indian drivers who come to Nepal from Sunauli crossing with industrial and commercial goods from different places in India have increased the risk of road accidents when they do not drive according to the prevailing traffic rules of Nepal.

District Traffic Police Office Rupandehi Chief Police Inspector Wajirsinh Bista informed that Indian vehicles entering Nepal were being stopped during the customs check and informed about the traffic rules at the customs office premises.  According to

, most of the Indian drivers have problems with road lane discipline, overtaking, crossing the road, use of vehicle lights at night, speed, voverload, etc. Traffic rules have been taught in their own language by gathering them in the customs complex. Many Indian cargo vehicle drivers and co-drivers are not aware of the traffic rules of Nepal. Some people ignore it even though they are informed,' said Bisht, 'because of this, road accidents and risks are increasing.' Under the

campaign, traffic awareness boards have been placed in Hindi language in various places on the border areas and roads targeting Indian motorists.
