PARSA: Thirty-four people have lost their lives in road accidents in Parsa district during the first 10 months of the current fiscal year, according to the District Police Office.

Chief of the District Traffic Police Office, Lokraj Bhatta, stated that although 51 people died in road accidents last fiscal year, this year’s number is comparatively lower, thanks in part to ongoing awareness efforts.

A one-hour training session was conducted in Birgunj targeting drivers and traffic rule violators. During the program, Chief Bhatta urged both drivers and passengers to strictly adhere to traffic regulations.
