CS Atal Dulloo Calls For GIS-based, Data-Driven Road Safety Interventions

Key Highlights

• The Chief Secretary sought a detailed account of the Supreme Court directions on road safety and the status of compliance by the concerned departments.
• He stressed that a clear-cut and time-bound roadmap for implementation of each directive must be prepared without delay.
• He called for leveraging available transport and traffic data to guide interventions such as targeted safety measures, strategic deployment of traffic police, and engineering corrections on road patches identified for frequent accidents.
• Emphasizing deterrence as a key component of road safety, the Chief Secretary directed the authorities to strictly enforce punitive measures against habitual and serious traffic violators.
• These include cancellation of driving licences, registration certificates, and other statutory actions against offenders involved in rash driving and non-compliance with traffic rules.
