BHUBANESWAR: The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) has prepared a three-year plan to enhance road safety in Odisha.
The comprehensive road safety plan devised by the prestigious institute will be implemented in collaboration with the state government. On Wednesday, IITM authorities presented their vision to enhance road safety in the state and outlined strategic interventions and initiatives for the next three years.
As part of the plan, a specialised task force – Sadak Suraksha Bal (SSB) comprising retired ex-servicemen may also be set up to support the state in enforcing road safety regulations. This apart, IITM has planned to create data-driven enforcement and intervention strategies using Naksha, a platform consisting of two applications: Field Perception Survey and Sanjaya portal.
