Rajasthan will shortly become the first State in the country to adopt an action plan for road safety for the next 10 years.

The action plan, to be accompanied by a government policy, will be aimed at reducing road accidents in the State by 50% till 2030.

Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa said on July 8 that the policy would generate awareness among the public at large about road safety provisions and bring about behavioural changes for complying with road safety rules.

The action plan, being formulated by the Transport Department’s road safety cell, forms part of the 100-day blueprint of the BJP government.
