Addressing a session on the 8th Road Safety Conference on “Future for Safe Ecosystem through Innovative & Sustainable Solutions” organised by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), Ajay Tamta, Minister of State, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said, to achieve a significant improvement in road safety, the government is committed to raise awareness about road safety issues and also taking measures to review standards pertaining to safety in the design of rural and urban roads.
One of the recent initiatives include the knowledge sharing platform hosted by National Highways Authority of India for sharing of knowledge and innovative best practices.
