… Deficiency in Road Traffic Management in

India…*** Remedial Measures ***

Global Status Report On Road Safety (2009) Published By WHO for

178 Countries, shows That Developed Nations Have Been Able To

Significantly Reduced The Number Of RTA Deaths By...Proactive

Measures From The Government And Strict Enforcement Of Laws.

The Report Shows That Although Basic Laws For Road Safety

Exists In India, Their Enforcement Is Extremely Weak.

So, In India, Road Safety Laws Need To Be Made More

Comprehensive While Enforcement Should Be Strengthened.

It Is Imperative On The Part Of The GOI To Take Measures To

Increase Safety On Indian Roads as well as being responsible

citizens of India the responsibility equally lies with us for..
