Chief Minister Pramod Sawant whilst speaking at the 43rd anniversary celebrations of the Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited in the city on Tuesday has said that his government will come up with a new rule wherein if any rent-a-car or its driver is involved in any fatal accident, then both the driver and the owner would be arrested. Sounds really interesting. But this is like saying that if a patient under the care of a particular doctor dies in any hospital then the doctor too would also be arrested. Well, in that case, why is the Pramod Sawant-led BJP government not planning to bring similar type of rule and getting all the PWD contractors arrested as well for giving us potholed roads and also holding them solely responsible for the deaths of so many innocents who have died in serious road accidents in Goa? Of course, the government says that the reason why it is planning to come out with the above rule is because it is really serious about the safety of it's citizens in Goa.
Well, I personally feel that the government, instead of planning on implementing some senseless rules to target the wrong people in the State should seriously come up with a rule to arrest the cops from the traffic cell first for deliberately not keeping a close check on those indulging in rash/drunken driving and for failing to implement some strict traffic rules to really stop innocent people from dying in serious road accidents in Goa.
