No more ‘corridors of peril’: Supreme Court rolls out strict highway safety norms, bans illegal parking, encroachments The Supreme Court has mandated nationwide road safety improvements, banning heavy vehicle parking on national highways and restricting new roadside structures. Authorities must ensure compliance within 60 days, with district magistrates overseeing inspections. Task forces will be formed to address accident-prone 'blackspots' and enhance surveillance, aiming to prevent avoidable fatalities. #Supreme_Court #Supreme #Court #safety_norms #Court_rolls #bans_illegal #banning_heavy #roadside_structures #safety_improvements #mandated_nationwide
Relief for drivers: No jail for 1st-time pollution, road safety norms violations In the case of noise pollution-related violations, the bill proposes a warning for the first offence, while repeat offence will attract a penalty of up to Rs 10,000. Similarly, failure to comply with an order or contravening provisions of the Electricity Act or rules, which can currently land a person in jail for three months along with a fine of Rs 1 lakh, is proposed to be converted into a fine of Rs 10,000 to Rs 10 Lakh. #lakh #road_safety #safety_norms #noise_pollution-related #bill_proposes #norms_violations #pollution-related_violations #repeat_offence #Electricity_Act #violations
