Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), Nitin Gadkari, stated that the ministry intended to cut road accident deaths by 50 per cent by 2030. Addressing the CII National Conclave on “Road Safety – Indian Roads@2030 – Raising the Bar of Safety,” Gadkari highlighted the significance of changing social behaviour and strengthening the “4Es of Road Safety”.
The “4Es” include engineering (road & vehicle engineering), enforcement, education, and emergency medical service. He added that in order to reach this goal, there needs to be cooperation among all stakeholders to enhance road safety.
