together various people who probably interact with each other but not on a
common platform. This expo brings together all possible stakeholders of the
sector and provides a perspective that allows us to learn,” said Sanjay Mitra.
“This year, nearly Rs.600 crores has been provisioned for Road Safety. We have
authorized regional offices to provide road safety services on an urgent basis.
Also we have sought to amend the Motor Vehicle Act which is still in the
parliament. Once it comes into being, we hope to have higher penalties for
speeding, drunken driving and for such other traffic offences which we hope and
expect will cut down traffic accidents significantly,” he added.
He urged technology programmers to
develop apps that will be handy to commuters on highways. These apps will be
able to provide its users with information on the toll structures, the wayside
amenities and, congestion position among others.
