Increase in motor vehicles, road works & #accidents are the leading reasons why #traffic congestion in #India is among the worst in the world. Prioritising #SustainableTransport by increasing #PublicTransport & providing #pedestrians & #cyclists with safe spaces can help reduce congestion on our roads.
To remember the many precious lives killed and injured in Tamil Nadu's roads and to commend the efforts taken by the state consistently to promote road safety, we at CAG are organising an event titled “Tamil Nadu’s MARCH towards Vision ZERO”, in collaboration with the School of Excellence in Law and Greater Chennai Traffic Police on 22nd November 2022. Come join us and express your solidarity in creating safer roads for all.
#RoadCrashes impact families - financially compromising quality of life causing time poverty for women etc. With this year's theme being #Justice it's important to practice road discipline, create a just post-crash care system to reduce deaths & severe injuries. #WDoR2022 #RememberSupportAct

'Cheap calories' from processed foods is one of the drivers of an Indian #diabetes epidemic among children in #India with a 2021 study finding that 12.3% of Indian children (10-19 years) were found to be either diabetic or pre-diabetic.
