Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, January 9 -
Improving the transport system is our priority and concrete steps are being taken in this direction. This was stated by cabinet minister Anil Vij while talking to the media at his office in Chandigarh today after his Delhi visit. He shared his views on various topics related to transport reforms and road safety.
Vij said representatives from various states participated in the meeting held in Delhi under the chairmanship of Union Road, Transport and Highways Minister Sh. Nitin Gadkari. In this meeting, issues of road accidents and transport reform were discussed in detail. He said the main reason behind 80 per cent of road accidents is human error, in which excessive fatigue of drivers is a big problem. He suggested that rest houses should be built on the roadsides, where drivers can rest and get food as well. Work is also being done to provide quality food in public transport in collaboration with Haryana Tourism. The minister said a study is being done to improve catering services on the line of Railways.
