Chhattisgarh police are taking the fight against dangerous social media trends to the digital forefront. In Baloda Bazar-Bhatapara district, the sixth installment of ‘Khaki Talks’ on Facebook Live attracted massive online participation, with SP Bhawna Gupta leading the charge against minors’ risky vehicle stunts.
Broadcast from the district police’s official page at 2 PM on Saturday, the event spotlighted viral clips from Kasdol schools showing underage kids executing death-defying maneuvers on two-wheelers and cars. Gupta painted a grim picture: impressionable youth mimicking these reels could end in tragedy. ‘One wrong move, and lives are lost,’ she cautioned parents and educators.
The appeal was clear—instill traffic discipline early, deny access to speedy rides for kids, and stay vigilant. Violations don’t just penalize drivers; parents face the heat too. Experts on the panel, including Addl SP Hemsagar Sidar and Traffic DSP Sanjay Sahu, broke down regulations and consequences in detail.
Viewers included students from multiple schools like Swami Atmanand in Simga and Palari, who lauded the engaging format. This ongoing series tackles timely topics from online safety to traffic compliance, proving social media’s potential for positive policing in modern India.
