Amanullah Khan, has announced his decision to undertake “fast-unto-death” from September 1. He disputed the Government’s contention that heavy increase in the penalties for various traffic offences will reduce the road accidents. He said that both the Central and State Governments in the country are trying to fool the people by claiming that the heavy increase in the penalty rates alone will reduce the increasing number of road accidents. Mr Amanullah urged the government to first enforce total prohibition then think about increasing penalties..
