Superintendent of Police Tuhin Sinha on Tuesday said the district police would step up road safety measures by strengthening enforcement of traffic rules and expanding public awareness campaigns to curb road accidents and save lives.

He was speaking at a programme in which Pharmagel Company, based at Parawada, handed over eight breath analysers to the district police under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
