living if I compare that with China which is about 500 and we are ahead of

which is about 500 and we are ahead of

which is about 500 and we are ahead of us not only the population but the

us not only the population but the

us not only the population but the population of vehicles also has

population of vehicles also has

population of vehicles also has increased most of

increased most of

increased most of cities in India are home to more than a

cities in India are home to more than a

cities in India are home to more than a million vehicles for example Delhi is

million vehicles for example Delhi is

million vehicles for example Delhi is about 7.3 million Bangalore is about 4.2

about 7.3 million Bangalore is about 4.2

about 7.3 million Bangalore is about 4.2 million Mumbai we just just about above

million Mumbai we just just about above

million Mumbai we just just about above 2 million vehicles in fact compared with

2 million vehicles in fact compared with

2 million vehicles in fact compared with New York which is about 2 million

New York which is about 2 million

New York which is about 2 million vehicles and wishing is about 5 million

I compare with the city if I exclude Delhi and and Bangalore okay apart from

Delhi and and Bangalore okay apart from

Delhi and and Bangalore okay apart from these two still rest of the cities

these two still rest of the cities

these two still rest of the cities average about 1500 to 2000 kilometers in

average about 1500 to 2000 kilometers in

average about 1500 to 2000 kilometers in roads only Delhi is comparable and New

roads only Delhi is comparable and New

roads only Delhi is comparable and New York is comparable to Bangalore and

International average states is about

International average states is about 300 vehicles per kilometer whereas our

300 vehicles per kilometer whereas our

300 vehicles per kilometer whereas our cities like Chennai is about more than

cities like Chennai is about more than

cities like Chennai is about more than 2,000 vehicles Pune is about more than

2,000 vehicles Pune is about more than

2,000 vehicles Pune is about more than 1200 vehicle Mumbai just about thousand

1200 vehicle Mumbai just about thousand

1200 vehicle Mumbai just about thousand vehicles so the this is the constant

vehicles so the this is the constant

vehicles so the this is the constant increase of compare compared to the

increase of compare compared to the

increase of compare compared to the International average a Delhi is about

International average a Delhi is about

International average a Delhi is about 245 which is less than average it’s

245 which is less than average it’s

245 which is less than average it’s because the Delhi has more roads so all

because the Delhi has more roads so all

because the Delhi has more roads so all these things is actually putting out a

these things is actually putting out a

these things is actually putting out a load on our roadways in India more than

load on our roadways in India more than

load on our roadways in India more than 80 percentage of the of the passenger

80 percentage of the of the passenger

80 percentage of the of the passenger traffic and as well as more than 2/3 of

traffic and as well as more than 2/3 of

traffic and as well as more than 2/3 of the freight traffic is actually runs on

the freight traffic is actually runs on

the freight traffic is actually runs on the road so that is where the load on

the road so that is where the load on

the road so that is where the load on the road is more but do we have a really

the road is more but do we have a really

the road is more but do we have a really a good man power to manage to take all

a good man power to manage to take all

a good man power to manage to take all this load the answer is no our traffic

this load the answer is no our traffic

this load the answer is no our traffic police is heavily under stop okay there

police is heavily under stop okay there

police is heavily under stop okay there is only about one traffic policeman for

is only about one traffic policeman for

is only about one traffic policeman for every 500 vehicles that run on the road

every 500 vehicles that run on the road

every 500 vehicles that run on the road every day which which actually raises
