Sub: Increase in Road Accidents in Metros Sir
Let me express my great concern and anxiety at the increase in road accidents in the metropolitan cities of India.
It is quite disturbing that over the last few years there has been a steady increase in the number of accidents in all the major cities. The year 1998 accounted for near by 1300 accidents. With in six years the graph shows a regular rise. In the year 2004 the number of accidents rose to 1425. These accidents resulted in the loss of many precious lives. Most of these accidents were caused by rash and negligent driving. Drinking and driving has become quite a common feature. The rules of the road safety and caution are thrown to the winds. The concerned authorities must give exemplary punishments to the rash and negligent drivers. Drinking and driving can’t go together. The defaulters must be heavily fined or punished. The traffic police must enforce the rules and culture of the road very strictly. Only then our roads will be safe and secure.
Yours faithfully
Bimla
