Road Safety Campaign IIT Delhi
Road Safety Campaign IIT Delhi
Why this petition matters
A few weeks ago four of our friends lost their lives in a horrific car crash on the road to Jaisalmer. A few weeks later another three were victims of a motorcycle crash in our neighboring institution, the Jawaharlal Nehru University. These events have prompted deep introspection on our campus and some of us met last week to discuss what we can do to do move toward safer roads and traffic management in India.
At this meeting it was agreed that we should start a campaign to put pressure on the national government to institute policies that control the scourge of deaths, disabilities and injuries resulting from traffic crashes in India. Road accidents cause about 150,000 deaths, 500,000 disabilities, and 3 million hospitalisations every year. This needless and unnecessary carnage on our roads cannot be allowed to continue.
We will send the appeal below to the Prime Minister and all Chief Ministers. Please sign the appeal and help us take this campaign for traffic safety forward. Please forward this appeal to all your friends so that we can make this a broad based national movement.
