New Delhi: A renowned business personality and former chairman of Tata Sons died recently in a road accident that raised serious questions about road safety in India.
While Indian roads are some of the most dangerous in the world to drive, given the number of fatal accidents reported every year, it is also the substandard and less equipped cars that are partly responsible for such a high death rate.
The Indian government is working at a fast pace to mandate the use of safety devices in cars and after making ABS with EBD and dual airbags mandatory, it has taken a step forward to mandate 6 airbags in a car.
