Madhya Pradesh's Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety Chairman, Retired Justice Abhay Manohar, has emphasized the importance of community participation in preventing accidents and fatalities caused by animals on roads. During a recent meeting, the committee agreed to launch the Zero Fatality District programme in Bhopal, Indore, and Ujjain, with the aim of reducing road accidents and their associated fatalities.
Currently, the programme is already being implemented in several districts, including Dhar, Satna, Rewa, Sagar, Jabalpur, Khargone, and Ujjain.
To achieve this goal, Justice Manohar stressed the need to focus on the four key elements - engineering, emergency care, enforcement, and education - to bring down the number of road accidents. The committee also discussed the issue of uninsured vehicles and fuel shortages, with suggestions to run a pilot project in one of the districts.
The president of the committee personally visited Bhopal Automatic Fitness Centre and discovered an error in the issuance of a pass certificate for a vehicle that failed the inspection, highlighting the importance of proper checks before granting such certifications.
