Road safety is a shared responsibility. We as manufacturers are committed to initiate steps to equip vehicles with safety technologies and support the creation of responsibility and safety culture with our users,” said Society for Automotive Fitness and Environment (SAFE) president N Saravanan at the organisation’s annual convention on the theme of “Vision towards Safer Roads: Technology, Education and Enforcement” here on Thursday.
“We Indian automobile manufacturers are the integral part of SAFE’s family and we are confident that with the support of the Government and all other stakeholders, our efforts to make roads safer and develop sustainable road transport system are achievable,” added Saravanan.
Commerce and Transport Department Secretary Sanjay Rastogi said, “Every individual is responsible for making the roads safer. The Government alone cannot enforce the road safety measure without the help of drivers, pedestrians and the automobile industry. We all have to come together and educate the people and reduce the fatalities on our roads.”
SAFE, by organising this seminar with all stakeholders, is going to come out with ideas on safer roads which can be implemented for road safety, he added. Among others, SAFE vice president Navneet Soni, Transport Department Assistant Director Tapan Mishra also spoke.
