In the past decade, over 1 million people have been killed and close to 6 million have been seriously injured or permanently disabled in road accidents in India. The demands for better road safety and stronger laws have gained momentum after the unfortunate demise of Mr. Gopinath Munde in a road accident in New Delhi on 3rd June, 2014.
