DOHA: As part of its drive “Together For the Safety of Everyone”, the Media and Traffic Awareness Department at the General Directorate of Traffic is continuing distribution of Iftar meals among drivers on a number of roads.

The Department yesterday distributed around 300 Iftar meals as a contribution towards saving their lives and lives of others from potential accidents which usually occur due to speeding before Iftar time.

The campaign focused on Al Mazroua road and Al Dafna areas. The drive aimed to control accidents usually committed by hasty drivers during pre-Iftar rush hour, in particular, heavy vehicle drivers who tend to drive very fast to reach their destination before Iftar which is a major cause of accidents.
