Mridul Bhasin: “There’s an urgent need to address road safety in India”

Hindustan Times  

Can we begin with Durva Bhasin, your daughter, in whose memory you have dedicated the NGO, Muskaan? Muskaan Foundation for Road Safety started three days later. Durva Bhasin I remember your statement that a once-in-20-years disaster like a flood receives more attention than road safety, which kills a significant number of people each year. Several factors contribute to this crisis, including inadequate traffic management, lax enforcement of traffic rules, and a lack of coordination among various government departments responsible for road safety. Ultimately, a multifaceted approach, combining stricter enforcement, public awareness campaigns, and infrastructure improvements, is essential to address the issue of road safety in India.
