Nearly 30% driving licences in India are fake, road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari said in the Lok Sabha. “If you see the photographs on licences, they don’t match. People drive without any fear or respect for law.” The statement comes amid efforts to pass the much-delayed Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, which seeks to impose steeper fines for traffic violations, regulate taxi aggregators and address the issue of third-party insurance. Around 150,000 Indians die in road accidents every year, the minister said.
Public opinion
We have been constantly reaching out to all the MPs across parties and working with them to aware them about the benefit of a stricter legislation for road-safety and why they should come out and support the bill! Hopefully this time our initiatives with Ministry of Road Transport & Highways - India and World Health Organization will reap benefits and India will get its new law that promotes road-safety holistically! Kudos to Mr. Nitin Gadkari to table the bill in the first session itself after taking charge in the new government. Let's all come forward and urge our leaders to leave politics aside and support the government in its bid!
