The Anantapur police, in association with Rural Development Trust (RDT), are taking special efforts to control road accidents and enhance road safety measures in the district.
To make motorists and the public aware about the precautions to be taken to avoid road accidents and road-safety rules, the police have decided to fix 200 awareness boards along the roads.
Superintendent of police (SP) K. Srinivasa Rao on Friday said steps had been taken to install these signboards at 39 black spots, considered highly accident-prone in the district. The SP said deputy inspector general (DIG) A.N. Ammireddy had inspected the black spots and instructed the district police to chalk out an immediate action plan to tackle the road mishaps in the district.
