Bareilly | District Magistrate Avinash Singh chaired a meeting of the District Road Safety Committee at the Collectorate auditorium, focusing on strengthening traffic management and reducing accident risks across the districts.
During the meeting, officials held detailed discussions on key road safety concerns. The District Magistrate directed authorities to implement immediate measures to control speeding vehicles on the Shahjahanpur–Jhumka Tiraha stretch, identified as a high-risk corridor.
