“Road Traffic Act” to replace Motor Vehicles Act- 1988, says Gadkari


“Road Traffic Act” to replace Motor Vehicles Act- 1988, says Gadkari
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari today said that a new Road Traffic Act will be brought in the winter session of Parliament, which will be at par with international Acts in the Road Sector. Speaking at a workshop on Road Safety here, the Minister Said, the existing Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 has outlived its utility and in the fast changing traffic scenario, a holistic Act is needed. He said, the draft of the proposed Act is already reaching final stage and it will have features of the best practices of developed countries like USA, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Germany and the UK. 

Shri Gadkari lamented that every year, one lakh 38 thousand people are killed in road accidents, the total social cost of which is estimated to be around Rs 1 Lakh Crore. Moreover, 63 % of the road crash deaths occur on National and State Highways. He said, the biggest problem faced in urban areas in addition to road safety is unprecedented growth of vehicles leading to traffic congestion and increasing road traffic violations. 

The Minister said that due to lack of effective road engineering, faulty DPRs were made leading to increasing road accidents and fatalities. Calling for total transparency and zero tolerance for corruption, Shri Gadkari said there is need to fix accountability at the highest level for such large number of accidents in the country. He also laid stress on enforcement and education for achieving desired results on the ground. The Minister appreciated the role of Institute of Road Traffic Education towards capacity building of road traffic management based upon 25 years of their research.

Latest DA News: Govt to increase dearness allowance to 107 p.c


Latest DA News: Govt to increase dearness allowance to 107 p.c

The Government is likely to approve a hike in dearness allowance (DA) to 107 per cent from the existing 100 per cent, benefiting around 30 lakh Centre’s employees and its 50 lakh pensioners including dependents.

“The average rate of retail inflation for industrial workers from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 works out to be 7.25 per cent. Thus the Central government will hike dearness allowance for it employees by 7 per cent,” an official said.

He said the Finance Ministry will now put a Cabinet proposal for approval of 7 per cent DA hike from July 1 this year as the revised Consumer Price Index-Industrial Workers data for June was released by Labour Ministry on Saturday.

With increase in DA, the pensioners will also gain as the benefit provided to them as dearness relief will be hiked to 107 per cent of basic pay.

The previous UPA government had increased DA to 100 per cent from 90 per cent with effect from January 1, 2014, onFebruary 28 on the basis of agreed formula for revision of the allowance.

However, the central government employees’ union is not very enthused by the 7 per cent hike in the dearness allowance as their long pending demand of merger of DA with basic pay has not been given heed by 7th Pay Commission and the government.

“The erosion of value of wages is unbearable at 50 per cent dearness allowance. Now it will be 107 per cent. It is high time to merge DA with basic pay to provide relief to employees,” Confederation of Central Government Employees’ President KKN Kutty told PTI.

“We had summited our memorandum in this regard to 7th Pay Commission. They forwarded it to Central Government. We have apprised about the issue to the newly elected NDA government.

But no decision has been taken so far,” he said.

With merger of DA with basic pay, the salary and allowances paid in proportion of basic pay are increased. As per earlier practise DA was merged with basic pay once it breached 50 per cent mark. But the 6th Pay Commission has disallowed that.
