Police called on adults to always accompany their children when they use roads and pedestrian paths and keep an eye on them at all times. “Parents must not leave small children alone in public parks, markets, shopping malls,” said police who said they have often seen kids riding double seat on bicycles, crossing major streets without adults accompanying them or riding bikes in public places during late hours.
Police also warned about children falling into bad habits and company due to peer pressure and urged parents to keep a tab on their activities and friends circle.
