ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS2 (Governance, Judiciary and policy) and road safety. Issue: fragmented, delayed accident data across States hampers analysis. Policy: the Supreme Court's direction to upload data on eDAR builds on MoRTH's data and road-safety framework. Implication: reliable data enables identification of black spots and targeted interventions; way forward is timely State compliance, data quality checks, integration with police, hospitals and insurers, and use of the data for enforcement and design fixes.
