Public Works Minister Gopal Bhargava has said that to control road accidents in the state, the roads of the state will be freed from black spots in the coming one year.
He said this at the International Seminar on Road Safety: Current Scenario Way Forward, organised by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways at Brilliant Convention Centre, Indore.
He said that the government and the society will have to make concerted efforts to control road accidents.
Public Works Minister Bhargava said that we want to create a system in which traffic rules are followed more strictly. We have to think seriously to avoid accidents.
He said that the discussion held today would help us to reach the perfect place in road traffic reforms.
Minister Bhargava said that a single department of Public Works will not be able to prevent accidents.
All departments have to make efforts for this. The general public will have to become aware about traffic rules, traffic safety, only then good results will be visible.
He said that death in road accidents is a matter of concern. That is why it is necessary that we all think about this important matter.
