Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said, “Citizens navigating using Mappls App will now receive voice alerts in Punjabi alerting the commuters about the black spot ahead, making Punjab the first state to Map accident-prone sites as part of the Road Safety.”
The app will alert commuters by giving a voice message “Blackspot 100 meter di doori te hai (Black Spot is 100 meters ahead).” ADGP (Traffic) Amardeep Singh Rai, said that this driving aid is designed to elevate the overall safe driving experience on Punjab’s roads. He expressed confidence that the proactive implementation of voice alerts in Punjabi is a crucial step towards creating a more informed and vigilant driving community.
“Punjab takes pride in being the first state in the country to implement such a comprehensive mapping of accident black spots”, he said, adding that this safety feature had been tailored to user preferences, offering voice alerts in regional languages based on individual choices.
Punjab Traffic Advisor Navdeep Asija said the collaboration represents a significant step forward in our efforts not only to streamline the traffic management across Punjab but also to prioritise the safety of citizens, commuters, and the general public, all without any associated costs.
