DID YOU KNOW IN 2004 THERE WERE 3,525 accidents in Goa. 306 people were killed. 89 of those killed were pedestrians. 2,564 people were injured. Over the years the number of accidents reported in Goa has been increasing. Besides death, a large number of these accident victims suffer serious injuries and permanent disabilities. Untold suffering is caused not just to the people involved in accidents but to their families as well. What is the role of the Consumer as a stakeholder in this scenario wherein transportation and commuting on a daily basis needs to be comfortable, affordable and safe as a driver, a passenger or as a pedestrian ?
