NEW DELHI: If you jump a red light in Delhi, be ready to face the music of the Delhi police. Quite literally, music therapy will soon be a part of training course for traffic offenders, emotional songs will be played during the sessions.
"We have felt that the traffic offenders should feel that they are getting trained as well as getting some kind of satisfaction. The songs that will be played will give them more space to accept the training part and will make them more receptive and inclined towards the lessons being imparted," he said.
A proposal has been mooted in this regard and soon a tender will be floated for procurement of music systems and related components, the official added.
The focus will be on peaceful songs, that will be played during the one-day training session so that they are able to engage in a better way with the offenders.
"Patriotic songs, bhajans, prayer songs and songs with good emotional value, along with the educational part. These will be played during the training time," the officer added.
For certain offences like drunken driving, red light jumping, driving without license the offenders are issued court challans and after paying the challan in the court, it is mandatory for them to attend the training program so that they can get back their documents, said a senior traffic police officer.
