NEW DELHI:
The road transport and highways ministry will install speed guns (equipment to record the speed of as well as film a moving vehicle) on national highways and deploy advanced ambulances with vehicle-cutting equipment on certain stretches for the immediate rescue of accident victims.

Announcing the government's plans to crack down on speeding on highways, Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said errant drivers will be heavily penalised.

Last year, 64,633 people were killed in road crashes caused by speeding, according to the latest report of the transport research wing.

Gadkari said it was a "matter of pain" for him to share the rising graph of road deaths even as the sector itself scripted several success stories over the past two years. The minister added that his ministry will take two immediate steps to check fatalities on narrow highways in hill states and high-speed corridors that witness more fatal crashes. "We will install crash barriers all along hill roads to reduce chances of vehicles falling off the road. We will also deploy advanced ambulances with vehicle-cutting equipment on stretches such as the Mumbai-Pune expressway. We will deploy them close to major black spots," he said.
