New Delhi: Terming Indian roads “giant killers” demanding immediate attention and remedial action, the Supreme Court yesterday appointed a three-member committee to scrutinise and monitor enforcement of statutory provisions including the Motor Vehicles Act for making roads safer.
“Indian roads have proved to be giant killers demanding immediate attention and remedial action. Such attention and necessary intervention, in the first instance, is required to be made by the concerned governmental agencies,” said a bench of Chief Justice P Sathasivam, Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice N V Ramana in their judgement.
The court constituted a three-member committee comprising Justice K S Radhakrishnan, former surface transport secretary S Sunder and ex-chief scientist of the Central Road Research Institute.
The court said that the central and state governments were expected to enforce the existing laws including with all the might at their command.
