During the interaction, officials from both sides exchanged ideas on innovative road safety education methods and community engagement strategies.
Addressing the gathering, the Commissioner of Police, Delhi, emphasised the long-term vision behind the collaboration. He expressed hope that the Traffic Training Park would develop into a model road safety learning centre, capable of being replicated in other cities across India.
