Reflective stickers have been installed on various road sections in Rautahat with the aim of reducing traffic accidents caused by fog and mist in the Terai-Madhesh region.
The District Traffic Police has stated that this will make it easier for drivers. The campaign has been launched as per the ‘Youth Against Road Accidents-2082’ action plan.
Around 350 feet of reflective stickers of various colors received from the Road Division Office Chandranigahpur have been pasted on bridges, culverts and signboards along the East-West Highway from Dhansar to Bagmati Bridge and the Chandranigahpur-Gaur road section to Balchanpur area, said Rautahat District Traffic Police Chief Inspector Rajendra Thapa Magar.
