Due to increase in the population and number of vehicles, efficient traffic management, especially in the urban and metro areas, towns and cities in India have become a topmost priority for the smooth functioning of road transport in the part of the government. But traffic violations by the citizens also have been in the rise in recent years due to which road accidents and mortality rate have been increased year by year and become a serious social hazard.
To combat with this serious issue, the Government of India has amended the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 and the new Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act 2019 was published on 9th August in The Gazette of India and has been in implementation all over India since 1st September 2019 under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
The new Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act 2019 has imposed heavy fines, penalties and punishment for the violations of traffic rules & regulations to ensure efficient, safe and corruption-free transport system in the country. It has increased the fines & penalties many times to keep the offenders in check strictly.
Manipur Government has also implemented this Act with immediate effect and published a notification on 7 September 2019 by which it delegates power to officers of transport department and traffic control police of the state in the strict implementation of the new traffic rules and impose fines & penalties on the offenders.
On this regard, we invite the citizens of Manipur to put forward their views & opinions on the implementation of the new traffic rules in the state according to the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act 2019. Will the implementation of the Act be able to streamline the traffic issues in the state by enforcing the offenders to abide by the traffic rules or do we need more corrective measures to be taken to enhance the smooth functioning of the system?
We, as citizens, all have a responsibility towards the enhancement of road safety. So, join the discussion forum and provide your suggestions.

Reasons for mishaps over speeding , drunk driving , Talking on phone while .driving, Driving without helmet, Driving i the wrong direction of traffic flow , jumping signal. 30% of victims are pedestrians
I therefore request you to see that our state government does More Awareness programs, Introduce Lane driving by doing Road widenings, Wide foot paths and Zebra crossings for pedestrians all over the city. Lazer guns within the city roads as well along with all National high ways.
