Do we have a road safety policy?

What happens on the roads is a key indicator of the state of a nation’s health. In India, the number of people killed on the roads in a year is 10 times that of those who die in natural calamities. This is an astonishingly high number. Many of those killed are in the most productive age group of 20 to 40. Why does this happen? Do we have a road safety policy? What of the future?

Charge of the ‘Zee’lous crusader

If there is one Indian media company that has managed to hold its ground amidst a whirlwind of foreign competition, it has to be Zee Tele films.

The telecom operator with its GSM subscriber base of 25.65 million (according to figures of COAI, August 2006) is clearly the market leader with a hold over 30.6% of the booming Indian GSM market (which has86.62 million users). Its closest competitors – Hutchison and state-owned BSNL – command a lower 23.16% and 22.41% market share, respectively.
