Subject: Observance of 28th Road Safety Week from 9th -10th January 2017

Sir,
You must be aware that over one lakh persons lose their lives every year in our
country in road accidents and many more are debilitated. This causes immense economic
hardship and emotional trauma to their families. There is an urgent need to make our roads
safer as the loss oflives and limbs cannot be accepted as the price of mobility.

2. The central and the state governments have been implementing various measures to
make our roads safer. But the magnitude and gravity of the problem is such that these alone
will not suffice. There is a need for the society at large to take cognizance of the issue and to
join hands to make road safety a social movement.

3. To give all the stakeholders an opportunity to take part in concerted action for the
cause, "Road Safety Week" is observed throughout the country every year in the month of
January. The zs"
Safety Week will be observed from 9th January to 15th January, 2017.
Involvement of all the concerned agencies like Police, Health, information & Publicity,
Education, PWD), etc., and other field agencies like Transport Authorities, District
Authorities, Voluntary Organizations etc. may be ensured. In addition, a proactive
enforcement drive during the Week would underscore the seriousness about safety on the
roads.

4. It is requested that an Action Taken Report in the matter may subsequently be sent to
this Ministry by 31 st January, 2017.
