Traffic Children Park to be built in Ranchi Smart City

Why in News?

According to the information received from the media on July 6, 2023, the way has been cleared to build the country's 11th Traffic Children's Park on four and a half acres of smart city land located in Dhurwa, Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand. About Rs 14 crore will be spent on the construction of the park.

Key Points:

  • The traffic load on the city roads is increasing, but the trend of drivers is not in that proportion. This is the reason why 10 people are dying every day in road accidents in the state. That's why it has been decided to make Traffic Children's Park here.
  • With the formation of Traffic Children's Park, children and their parents will be able to get information about the way of driving vehicles, signs and rules related to traffic.
  • At the same time, signboards installed at other places including underpasses, signals, railway gates and sharp turns of the road, where the speed of different types of vehicles should be and information about the damage caused by overtaking vehicles will be easily available in the traffic park.
  • There will also be means of entertainment for children in the park. There will be arrangements for sports and battery vehicles. Children will also be informed about the importance of traffic signals while driving a battery vehicle.
  • It is known that earlier the Transport Department had decided to build this park on the land allotted by the Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC). For this, after preparing the DPR, the work was allotted to the sensor after taking out the tender. But six months back, on the day the work was to start, the HEC lodged a protest and stayed the construction work.
  • After this, Chief Secretary Sukhdev Singh had instructed the concerned department to give land for the construction of the Traffic Children Park in Smart City.
