Hyderabad: Commuting safely with the intention of not to risk precious life of own or others will surely help to reduce road accidents. As per the National Crime Records Bureau report for the year 2015, in the State of Telangana 21,252 road accidents took place with 22,948 injuries and 7,110 deaths in the year 2015 and in Andhra Pradesh 24,258 road accidents took place with 29,439 injuries and 8,297 deaths in the same year.
Over-speeding is reported as one of the main reasons for accidents and accounts for 40-50 per cent of road accidents. Fitting quality speed governing devices will have great impact and help to bring down the number of accidents ,” said Dr Kamal Soi, Member – National Road Safety Council, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India & International Road Safety Expert, in a press meet organised on Friday in the city.
`` Non-implementation of SLD (Speed Limiting Device) Rule in Telangana and improper implementation in Andhra Pradesh is leading to rise in road accidents & deaths of innocent people in both the States,” he remarked.
With respect to enforcement of the Speed Governor Policy, which is crucial for Road Safety, Andhra Pradesh Government has registered its continued failure in regulating fly-by-night SLD Manufacturers who are installing unapproved and uncertified SLDs in vehicles with different makes, models and variations for which they do not even have the approval. Certain unscrupulous SLD manufacturers are in fact evading Tax by not even issuing bills against the sales of speed governors.
``To bring this to the attention of the Transport department, I have written letter to the Chief Minister, Government of Telangana &Telangana Transport department dated 26th May, 2017 & 7th July, 2017 and Chief Minister, Government of Andhra Pradesh & Andhra Pradesh Transport department dated 11th May, 2017 & 7th July, 2017. However, no response or action has been taken by Telangana Transport Department & Andhra Pradesh Transport Department. It is in violation of the Central Law and Hon’ble Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety Guidelines.
