The Jhunjhunu District Administration has launched a pedestrian safety campaign around major school zones starting today, 21 June 2025. Officers from the Traffic Department, local police, and school officials are coordinating to guide students and control vehicle movement during peak drop-off and pick-up hours.

According to officials, volunteers will be stationed at key points near Government Girls Senior Secondary and Kendriya Vidyalaya schools from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and again from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM. The aim is to reduce congestion and ensure safe crossing for children, especially as monsoon season increases slipperiness on roads.

📅 Date: 21 June 2025
📍 Location: Near Jhunjhunu schools
🚸 Activity: Pedestrian Safety Drive
💡 Note: Drivers urged to slow down and parents to use proper crossings

Traffic Superintendent Rajesh Singh noted that school zones can become faster-paced during rainy days, increasing risks for pedestrians. Hence, officers are emphasizing proper visibility of school signboards, placement of cones, and active participation from parents in early monitoring.

Why It Matters for Jhunjhunu Residents

With monsoon showers, roads get slick and visibility drops. This initiative helps protect children and avoids accidents by managing traffic flow and raising awareness among commuters in school areas.
