Against policy
The Ministry noted that local authorities were creating speed humps on national highways, contrary to the government’s policy.
Ministry sources said the proposal would be taken up at the first meeting of the Empowered Group of State Transport Ministers to be held here on April 29 to suggest ways to address road safety issues.
The group of State Ministers, headed by Rajasthan Transport Minister Yunus Khan, is mandated to suggest measures to minimise road accidents, improve the public transport system and recommend ways to boost the transport sector.
