Summary:
"Road safety shows no sign of improvement despite the matter being closely monitored by the Supreme Court. For that, they need to make road safety a priority." The bill seeks to strengthen laws regarding road safety. While the minister for road transport and highways, Nitin Gadkari , has often made a personal commitment to the issue of road safety, the ministry has failed to push the bill through Parliament where it first faced roadblocks in the Lok Sabha and now the Rajya Sabha. The government must get this bill passed in the coming parliamentary session..
