roads safe, mayors told
BY CARLA GOMEZ

Gov. Joseph Maraņon and Senior Supt. Charles Calima, police provincial director, yesterday reiterated their orders for patrols to be conducted along Negros Occidental's highways, to ensure that roads are cleared of obstructions that have been causing deadly road accidents lately.

Stalled vehicles, especially those without early warning devices, and spilled sugarcane have been blamed for numerous mishaps.

Maraņon said he reminded the Provincial Disaster Management Team, that is part of the Provincial Road Safety Task Force, to stick to his directive to make sure highways are safe and free of obstructions.moremoremore
