A regional transport officer in Thane on Thursday appealed to educational institutions to integrate road safety into daily curricula for students, emphasising its importance in accident reduction and fostering a culture of responsible road usage from an early age.

During a formal event conducted at a local school, RTO official Hemangi Patil highlighted the significant influence that schools and educators have in shaping traffic conduct, according to news agency PTI. 

"Similarly to the daily teaching of the Maharashtra Geet in schools, road safety should also be incorporated as a routine lesson," she stated.
