Road Safety
(Syed Hussain Mosavi, karachi)
All accidents are
preventable,if we all do our bit and become accountable. Roads, foot Path,
bridges , crash barrers, Signages, Reflective boards, are all part of a careful
"Safe Road" design. Education both in schools and offices, training school
children, motorists, an attitude of "Never walk Past' an unsafe behaviour or
area but alert and correct should be the new Mind set. Hazard identification and
taking corrective action, all these are duties of Public and the Authorities.
Every meeting and school assembly Must start with a safety Moment. Compliance
and Punishmnet for violations including Drink and drive Must be swift . Name and
shame the traffic violators is also required. We as a nation Must become safety
concious. 'Safety begins with Me' Must be the attitude. Every TV news broadcast
Must begin with a safety Moment.India Must become a safe country. Other wise all
the economic progress is a waste, many would die in safety related accidents.
