Shimla: Under the leadership of Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the Himachal Pradesh Government’s consistent efforts in the field of road safety have yielded positive and encouraging results. The state has witnessed a steady decline in road accidents, leading to the saving of countless precious lives.
