RAJOURI DECM, 19:-In a proactive initiative aimed at enhancing road safety and the wellbeing of vehicle operators, the Assistant Regional Transport Officer (ARTO) Rajouri, Rajesh Gupta, in collaboration with the Health & AYUSH Department, today organised a free medical health check-up camp at the fitness trial ground in Rajouri.

During the camp, as many as 110 drivers underwent medical examinations conducted by a team of doctors and paramedical staff. The drivers were advised on the importance of regular health check-ups to prevent road accidents caused by sudden health-related incapacitation while driving.

The participants were also sensitised about the need to operate well-maintained vehicles, emphasising that vehicle fitness plays a crucial role in ensuring road safety for both drivers and commuters.

Special awareness was created regarding safe driving practices during the winter season, with drivers being cautioned to exercise extra care during cold weather conditions, which often result in slippery roads and reduced visibility.

ARTO Rajouri Rajesh Gupta reiterated the department’s commitment to road safety and stressed that such awareness and health-oriented initiatives will continue in the future to ensure safer roads and healthier drivers in the district.

Officials from the Health & AYUSH Department, along with staff from the Transport Department, were present on the occasion and contributed to the successful conduct of the camp.
