Explanation:
Road safety continues to be a major developmental issue, a public health concern and a leading cause of
death and injury across the world, killing more than 1.35 million globally as reported in the Global Status
report on Road Safety 2018 with 90% of these casualties taking place in the developing countries and 11%
alone being accounted for by India.
As per the Report on Road accidents in India 2019, the accident related deaths in India in 2019 were
1,51,113 in number. It is indeed a matter of great concern that despite the continuing efforts of the
Government in this regard and our commitments for halving fatalities we have not been able to register
significant progress on this front.
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has been taking multiple initiatives including those related to
vehicular and road engineering as well as educational measures for raising awareness in the field of Road
Safety. The year 2019 saw the culmination of our efforts in the field of Road safety through the enactment
of the Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019, which among other things, provides for a stiff hike in penalties
for traffic violations with the aim of bringing in discipline and a responsible attitude amongst road users .
I believe that the countrywide implementation of the MVA 2019 act, in its true spirit , will mark the turning
point in road related deaths in the country .
