The traffic police department has recently put into place some new road safety measures and announced that drivers of passenger vehicles will have to use uniforms and fastening of seat belts would be mandatory for people driving either passenger or private vehicles. Though the new measures are a welcome steps but need to implemented on the ground and some more stringent measures are needed to regulate the driving for safer journey on roads both in Kashmir and Jammu divisions of the state. Measures like softening of seat belts and use of uniforms by drivers of passenger vehicles were announced in past also but could not be implemented on the ground due to presence of incompetent and corrupt people in the traffic regulation agencies of the government. Some measures are also needed to address the issues of incompetence and corruption breeding ground in the traffic regulation agencies of the state government. It has been also observed in recent years that drivers often run musical appliances while driving the passenger vehicle and often meet fatal accidents. More over the menace of overloading resulting in tragic road accidents is neither curbed in cities nor towns. If at all the overloading has become an unavoidable offence for the drivers, but giving a free license to drivers to continue the menace of overloading is objectionable and better for the law enforcement authorities to apply breaks on the menace of overloading. Since the menace of overloading results in deaths of scores of precious human liver month after month, the issue is crying for the immediate attention of the traffic regulation authorities. So without letting scores of precious human liver fall prey to the continuing menace of overloading, the traffic regulation authorities should give a thought to the idea of some stringent measures for stopping the menace of overloading. Any delay on this count would prove detrimental for the safer journey of people on the roads in both Kashmir and Jammu divisions of the state. Since the safer journey on roads should be issue of prime concern for traffic regulation authorities, better for them to solicit views of people from all walks of life. The beginning of inviting public response over the issue should be made with an effort for mass awareness over the issue. The sooner the traffic regulation authorities begin a public debate over the menace of overloading, the better it would be for them to generate new vistas in thinking over the traffic regulation system and road safety mechanisms. A beginning has been made but sufficient enough measures are in great demand to further the cause of road safety in Jammu and Kashmir state.
