In addition, execution of five civil packages aggregating to about in 30km length in North Cachar(N.C.) hills district have been delayed due to law and order problems, which has resulted in foreclosure of the original Contract and re-tendering for the balance work.The target date of completion of the project is Dec, 2012, except for the projects in NC hills district which are now targeted for completion by April, 2014.

(c) & (d): To expedite the acquisition of land, utility shifting, forest clearance and tree cutting, a State Level Co- ordination Committee has been constituted to regularly monitor the various activities to overcome the delay.

(c) & (d) : Yes, Madam. Meetings have been held with Ministry of Environment and Forest regarding pending issues, which is now giving clearance for the projects, on receipt of No Objection Certificate under Forest Rights Act, 2006 and compliances of other formalities.

ANNEXURE REFERED IN REPLY OF PART (C) OF LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 557 ANSWERED ON 26.11.2012 ASKED BY SHRI S. SEMMALAI AND OTHERS REGARDING ROAD ACCIDENTS

Key findings of the Global Status Report on Road Safety (2009) by the World Health Organization:

 Road traffic injuries will rise to become the fifth leading cause of death by 2030.  Low income and middle income countries have higher road traffic fatality rates (21.5 and 19.5 per 100 000 population, respectively) than high-income countries (10.3per 100 000). Over 90% of the world’s fatalities on the roads occur in low-income and middle-income countries, which have only 48%of the world’s registered vehicles.  Almost half of those who die in road traffic crashes are pedestrians, cyclists or user of motorized two-wheelers – collectively known as “vulnerable road users” and this proportion is higher in poorer economies of the world.  The adoption and enforcement of traffic law appears inadequate in many countries. The development and effective enforcement of legislation is critical in reducing drink-driving and excessive speed, in increasing the use of helmets, seat belts and child restraints.  Speed - Urban speed limits should not exceed 50 km/h and local authorities should be able to reduce speeds where necessary. This is the case in only 29% of countries.  Drink Driving - Blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) should be set at 0.05 g/dl for the general population. This is the case in less than 50% of countries.  Motor Cycle Helmets - Wearing a good quality motorcycle helmet can reduce the risk of death by almost 40% and severe head injury by over 70%. Only 40% of countries have a comprehensive helmet law and helmets standards.  Seat Belts - Wearing a seat-belt reduces the risk of death among front-seat passengers by 40−50% and among rear-seat occupants by 25−75%.Only 57% of countries require seat-belts to be used by both front-and rear-seat passengers.  Child Restraints - Infant seats, child seats and booster seats can reduce deaths of infants by as much as 70% and deaths of small children by between 54% to 80% in the event of a crash.  48% of countries have laws on all five risk factors mentioned above and 15% have comprehensive laws on all 5 risk factors.  The report shows that huge gaps remain in the quality and coverage of the data that countries collect and report on road traffic injuries. Reliable data on fatalities and non fatal injuries are needed by countries to access the scope of road traffic injury problems, to target responses to it and to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures.

The report’s key recommendations for government are:

 Consider the needs of all road users when making policy decisions that impact on road safety. To date, the needs of vulnerable road users have been neglected in many countries. They should be given renewed emphasis.

 Enact comprehensive laws to protect all road users by setting appropriate speed limits and blood alcohol concentration limits, and by requiring the use of appropriate protection measures such as helmets, seat-belts and child restraints. Existing legislation should be reviewed and amended to conform with good practices that are based on sound evidence of effectiveness.

 Improve and sustain the enforcement of all road safety laws. Enforcement efforts must be well published and implemented through the use of appropriate penalties for infringement.

 Foster multisectoral collaboration among agencies and ensure that they have the necessary human and financial resources to act effectively.

 Encourage the harmonization of data on road traffic injuries. This involves improving definitions, strengthening data linkages between police, transport and health services, and increasing human capacity to undertake data collection.
