The number of road accident deaths is steadily increasing in India. More than 300 people die in road accidents daily, and 4-5 times that number suffer serious injuries including lifelong disabilities. Developed nations, on the other hand, have succeeded in cutting their number of road fatalities drastically.
Some convenient helpline, or the police helpline, should be available for all emergency information and complaints relating to road safety issues. For the highways helpline 1033 seems to be operational. These call lines need to be widely popularised by the authorities concerned.
Introduce regular road safety curriculum in schools, higher education institutes, and encourage workshops and project writing on the subject: A very large number of road accidents involve the younger generation. Traffic police and other personnel involved should be sensitised and imparted communication skills in how to deal respectfully but firmly with offenders. Regular appeals to the general public for cooperation in implementing the Action Plan, and day to day information and advisories may be provided through all media tools, including social media.
