New mantra of safety in travel, UP government’s mega campaign to remove stray animals on the highway

News India Live, Digital Desk: Traveling on the roads of Uttar Pradesh, especially the new expressways and wide highways, has now become quite pleasant. The path of hours is being covered in minutes, but amidst this speed, there is always a fear which becomes ‘time’ for any laughing family. he is afraid Stray animals suddenly appearing in the middle of the road.

When a cow or Nilgai suddenly comes in front of a speeding car in the dark, the driver does not even get a chance to control himself. These dangerous accidents happening every day have destroyed many houses. But now the UP government has decided to attack the root of this problem. A big campaign is being launched to make the expressways and national highways completely ‘stray animal free’.

Efforts to control accidents
The simple objective of this campaign is that speed crazy passengers do not have to worry about their safety. Departments like UPEIDA and NHAI are now working in coordination. Special teams have been formed, whose job is to safely remove the cattle and nilgai roaming on the highway and transport them to nearby ‘gaushalas’ or protected shelters.

Drones and patrolling teams will guard
The reality is that sometimes stray animals come on the road due to broken highway fencing. The campaign involves not only removing the animals, but also blocking the routes from which they come. In many areas, the number of patrolling vehicles is also being increased and with the help of CCTV, those hotspots are being identified where animals are seen the most.

a sensitive step
It is not just a question of saving the lives of humans, but it is also a matter of saving life for voiceless animals. Thousands of cattle also lose their lives every day after being hit by speeding vehicles. This step of the government is considered to be a balanced effort in terms of safety of both humans and animals.

Support of common people is also necessary
The support of local people and villagers around the highway is also very important for the success of this campaign. It is often seen that people leave their milch animals to graze on the road after milking them. The administration can now show strictness regarding this.

If this campaign is truly successful, then driving on the expressway in the dark of night will be as safe as in daylight. At present, this initiative has provided great relief to the commuters who spend their entire day on the roads and traveling long distances.
