In a recent development, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari reprimanded consultants, engineers, and contractors for their oversight in road safety measures, attributing rising road deaths to flawed project preparation and inadequate signage. Gadkari emphasized the need for closer cooperation between the government and stakeholders to enhance infrastructure, enforcement, and awareness. The ultimate goal, as highlighted by experts, is to achieve zero fatalities by enhancing road design and management. This call for action underscores the critical importance of prioritizing safety measures on India’s roads to prevent further tragic accidents.
