RTO extracts pledge from license seekersRTO extracts pledge from license seekers

Nagar RTO as part of the ‘Worlddecade for road safety.’ TheRTO started issuing the formson July 18. On the first day,about 50 applicants signed theform.

Many promised to wear seatbelts and helmets.

“This is not legally binding.This is only to create aware-ness and try to ensure thatthey do not take risks on theroad,” said an official.

The RTO has printed 10,000

cards and officials hope thetrend will catch up across thecity and the State. “Safety onthe road is not only the state’sresponsibility.

Everyone has to pitch in,”the official said.

Tamilnadu, for the secondtime in a row, has topped theNational Crime Records Bu-reau statistics on the numberof road accidents in the coun-try.

The State recorded 65,873

accidents in 2011, accountingfor 15% of accidents in thecountry. Leading the pack isChennai, with 9,845 accidentslast year. In terms of fatalaccidents, it comes second af-ter Delhi.

While 1,400 lives were lost inChennai, Delhi recorded 1,679fatalities. And according to sta-tistics from the Chennai traf-fic police, more than 95% ofthose who died riding a two-wheeler were not wearing hel-mets.

Against this bleak situation,the K. K. Nagar RTO’s move isgetting encouragement fromthe traffic police. “This is agood move,” said Sanjay Arora(Additional Commissioner ofPolice, Traffic). “Creatingawareness when they are justapplying for a license is a goodidea.”

Traffic experts say that mostpeople are not aware of therisks on roads. “In a survey onroad safety we conducted, mostpeople could not get more than7 of the 10 simple questions onroad safety right,” said RoshanToshniwal of TransparentChennai.

To those fellows like me who hate death sentence as thelurking bestiality from the stone age, whether it is Surjeet Singhor Sabarjit Singh who escaped the noose, a round of rasagolla tothe accompaniment of the birds chirping at dawn is an energiser.

I love life so much that I can’t squash even a dirty cockroachstealing in through the bathroom drain cover to start a hundredplus colony in my home.

When our TV media fell over each other to gladden my heartwith the news of Sabarjit’s imminent homecoming after his Pakjail sojourn of dozens of years, all they perhaps heard was “Singh”and assumed that all Singhs in Pak jails will be exchanged for thebrave new world’s heroes like Kasab, the lone survivor of the killersquad. Well, somebody made an ass of himself by emulating goodold Shakespeare and asking himself “What’s in a name ? Sarabjitis as good or bad as Surjeet.” This mix up of killer names musthave plunged the Sarabjit family to the depths from the hope soartificially created. Do I hear some fame hunting lawyer smellinga juicy P.I.L suit against the TV and other news media for thesoap bubble hope that they created while the Pak chaps werelaughing themselves hoarse and silly at the joke.

Whatever be the hangee’s name, he deserves the commuta-tion as an act of recompense and grace from Pakistan which, oflate, is fencing with its Supreme Court. The graduation from therule of flaw to the rule of law, now that soldiers are not rulingPakistan, would turn would-be-Kasabs to saner ways to earn aliving, without follow the Roman hero Casca who plunged thedagger into Caesar with the salutation, “Speak hands for me”.

In a bid to crack down on adul-teration of petrol and diesel, theTamilnadu Government autho-rized officials of several depart-ments on July 17 to take actionagainst those involved in fuel adul-teration, hoarding and other relatedmalpractices.

Assistant Commissioners ofthe Civil Supplies Department, allofficials of the rank of Tahsildarsand above in the Revenue Depart-ment, all taluk supply officers, in-spectors and above in the LabourDepartment and Deputy Superin-tendents of Police and above in thePolice Department are authorisedto initiate action against the fuelmafia under the provisions of theEssential Commodities Act and

Crackdown on petrol, diesel adulterationMotor Spirit and High Speed Die-sel (Regulation of Supply and Dis-tribution and Prevention of Mal-practice) Order. The order is theoutcome of a proposal sent by theCommissioner of Civil Supplies andConsumer Protection Departmentin this regard.

Adulteration of petrol and die-sel, both at points of sale and dur-ing transportation, is rampantacross the country as there areseveral close substitutes for thesefuels. While kerosene is the com-monly used adulterant for diesel,naphtha is mixed with petrol. Atopen market prices of these fuels,adulteration of petrol helps save20 per liter and diesel 15 per liter. Various surveys have shown

that much of the petrol sold through outlets isadulterated and has a much lower octane levelthan the specified 87%. Many customers buyfuel only from select pumps, most often fromoutlets owned and operated by petroleummanufacturing companies. It is estimated thatpumps selling adulterated fuel earn a mini-mum of Rs. 25,000 a day. A study conductedby a private agency a few years ago estimatedthat about 30% of kerosene supplied throughthe public distribution system in the countryfor domestic use is diverted for adulteration ofdiesel and blackmarketing.

Apart from wrecking engines of new gen-eration vehicles, adulterated fuel is also a drainon the State’s exchequer as it loses on salestax. Theft of fuel from supply tankers is an-other rampant menace on highways. This isdone by local outlaws in co-ordination withlorry crew.
