The Supreme Court took decisive action on Wednesday, instructing all states and union territories to immediately implement Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR) aimed at enhancing safety in passenger transport vehicles.
These rules require the installation of speed governors, vehicle location tracking devices (VLTDs), and emergency panic buttons. This is a significant step toward improving road safety and ensuring that passengers have the means to alert authorities in case of emergencies.
Officials are now tasked with enforcing these regulations without delay. The court’s decision underscores the urgent need for stricter measures to protect passengers from potential harm while traveling.
