He noted
that the three-day training provided a platform for proper re-orientation of
the supervisors, who would impart the knowledge gained to the sweepers under
their watch, adding that this would go a long way in implanting safety
consciousness in the minds of the sweepers.

train-the-trainers program, apart from equipping our workers on the highways
