As road safety authority failed to achieve the target to halve the number of road accident fatalities by last year, it is now going to extend the deadline by another 10 years. As part of a new action plan, the authority wants to reduce 20 to 25 percent of road accident fatalities and injuries by the end of the 2024 by setting the National Road Safety Strategic Action Plan-2021-2024 into motion. A draft of the action plan has already been prepared and is expected to be placed before today's meeting of National Road Safety Council (NRSC) for approval, said Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) Chairman Nur Mohammad Mazumder while speaking to The Daily Star yesterday.
