Ahmedabad | Sunday | 18th November, 2018

Summary:

Sanjay Kharat, DCP Traffic said that policing alone won't solve the problem of people not following traffic rules. The number of common injuries in accident however saw a decline to 911 (up to Oct 2018) from 958 in the year 2017. But in our case, it becomes difficult when 90 per cent of the people are not following the rules," said Kharat. The motive is to bring together various stakeholders to form a Road Safety Network to help strengthen road safety legislations and ensure their implementation," said Kartikeya Sarabhai of CEE. He said a decade ago the city had no flyovers and now it has 14 yet we have not been able to bring down accidents or improve traffic congestions..
