Professor Dr V Gautam, an internationally acclaimed surgeon of Trauma and Emergency Care, will, together with personnel from the National Disaster Response Force and the Indian Army, form the team for delivering this programme. The target is to train 40,000 drivers of commercial vehicles and trainers by 31st March 2016.
Black Spot Removal Programme - IRF India has taken the lead to spearhead the Black Spot Removal Programme in Delhi, India. The Delhi Traffic Police has identified 10 key black spots on Delhi’s roads. These 10 black spots will form the first phase of the Black Spot Removal Programme.
