Subject: Safe drive save life
Sir:
I am writing to you to express my deep concern over the alarmingly increasing insecurity on the roads in our city, leading to countless accidents every day. According to Road Accident Statistics India 1214 road crashes occur every day in India. 20 children under the age of 14 die every day due to road crashes in the country. One serious road accident in the country occurs every minute and 16 people die on Indian roads every hour.
Safe Drive Save Life campaign launched by the West Bengal government to inculcate a sense of safe driving and responsible road behaviour among people in the state is an ideal initiative which all state governments should take up seriously. According to the philosophy of the campaign roads are an integral part of our life. Each one of us uses them to go to school, offices, markets, hospitals, and then to reach home back. Safe driving is an essential component of road safety.
I appeal to the concerned authorities through the medium of your esteemed daily to launch Safe Drive Save Life campaigns in all the cities and states. This will surely enhance road safety and better driving sense on roads. I hope you will give enough space to my views in your reputed daily.
Yours truly,
Amitav
