Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has asked state governments to accord top priority to road safety, according to an official statement on Wednesday.
The Minister for Road Transport & Highways and MSMEs also asked the state governments to motivate people for safer movement on road, with the involvement of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), using social media on major basis for awareness and education about road safety measures.
He was addressing 19th meeting of the National Road Safety Council (NRSC) on Tuesday here.
The meeting of NRSC takes place even as the country is marking its first-ever road safety month, which began on Monday.
