Continue Government hopes such changes in the regulatory regime would allow trial courts to devote g

reater attention to serious offences rather than get overloaded

The decision to build in harsh penalties and prison terms for corporate misdemeanours in the 2013 law was, no doubt, influenced by the highpitched anticorruption discourse that prevailed in the country at that moment in time

Four years down the line, the government is finally moving purposefully on this, a rethinkperhaps triggered by the fact that private sector investment is yet to pick up steam

One hopes this is followed up on swiftly, before the ruling party slips into election mode.


A redemptive moment

Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which criminalises sexual intercourse considered “against the order ofnature”.

Supreme Court of India has turned the tables by entertaining a curative petition in matter of its own ruling in 2013that Section 377 is not violative of India‟s Constitution.

Finally though, the ball returns to the court of the LGBT community itself

Dark clouds over the RTI Any move to amend the RTI Act must involve public consultation

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)government has struck another blow against transparency and accountability.

Its already negative track record — that has been marked by an unwillingness to operationalise the Lok Pal, the Whistleblowers Act and the Grievance Redress law — has taken another step backwards if one is to go by a single line in item 14 in thelegislative agenda of the monsoon session of Parliament (from July 18).

Since 2005, the RTI Act has helped transform the relationship between the citizen andgovernment

RTI Act has been under constant threat of amendments.


Continue Any amendment to the law should have been discussed before it went to the cabinet,

as in the “pre legislative consultation policy

Worse still, in order to avoid facing the strength of the Opposition, there have been stepsto steamroller legislative measures (in the garb of money Bills) that have destabilised access to information such as Aadhaar

The Lokpal Act is now in cold storage. No Lokpal appointments have been made, despite repeated prodding by the Supreme Court;

in fact the government has tried to protect bureaucrats by amending the Lokpal Act in such a way that assets of family members of public servants do not have to bedisclosed in the public domain.

This time round, it is far more critical that all of us rally together again for thepeople of India cannot afford to lose what has been gained through the RTI.


Fix the pothole problem

A

The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, which attempts to address the issue of liability for road defects, must be passed

Three years ago, when Dadarao Bilhore lost his son, Prakash, to a road crash caused by apothole in Mumbai, he decided that it was time to take matters into his own hands.

He visited local authorities and urged them to repair the potholes.

According to official statistics, potholes claimed 11,836 lives and left 36,421 personsinjured in India from 2013 to 2016.

Madhya Pradesh, UP, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra have maintained a fairly consistent record of being among the top four in road crashes, injuries and deaths due to faulty roads,particularly potholes


Continue Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Odisha and West Bengal feature regularly among the top 10 States

in the same category.

Every year, potholerelated deaths make it to the headlines especially during the monsoonseason

Motor Vehicles Act, has no provisions to ensure accountability of road authorities fordefects in the engineering, design and maintenance of roads.

Thankfully, the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, 2017, which seeks to strengthen the Act,has attempted to address the issue of liability for road defects.

Designated authority responsible to construct and maintain the road is to be penalised with asum capped at ₹1•lakh-

The Bill directs that safety standards be prescribed by the Central government.


Continue Potholes are usually caused by the presence of heavy traffic and water on roads.

Several studies conducted in cities such as Chandigarh and Mumbai point to lack of a proper drainage system and weak proportioning of aggregates for road construction as major reasons for pothole formation.

Becomes necessary to ensure the use of standardised methodology and good quality material when constructing roads

There also needs to be regular maintenance and an effective system to ensure accountability.

There is a need to incorporate the Safe System Approach in all aspects of road design, engineering and construction.


Road safety is a multisectoral issue At a policy level, the first step is to create an enabling framework that weaves in different

progressive aspects across stakeholder sectors under one legislation.

The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, 2017 aims to rectify several systemic issues by providing a uniform driver licensing system, protecting children and vulnerable road users, rationalising penalties and creating a system of accountability in the construction of roads.

The Bill was sent to the Rajya Sabha last Monsoon Session; a year later, it still awaits passage.

Bill is not a panacea for all problems, but it is the first step towards ensuring that no deathsare caused by road crashes
