NEW DELHI: Dismayed at the large number of fatalities in the country due to road accidents, transport minister Nitin Gadkari called it’s a continuance of “failure” for govt, which has been fuelled by lack of respect for rules by motorists and pedestrians.
“This is a dark issue for my ministry. We are trying our level best but not getting success. This is one of our failures,” Gadkari said.He said around 1.7 lakh people died in around five lakh road accidents, with 66% of them in the age group of 18-36 years. “Our target was to reduce accidents by 50%. However, we feel there is a problem with society. There is neither fear, nor respect for law.”
