Road Safety Councils and Committees
AI Assist
Summary
Central Government can notify a National Road Safety Council with a Chairman and other members on terms it decides. State Governments can similarly notify State Road Safety Councils and District Road Safety Committees via notification in the Official Gazette. These bodies perform road-safety programme functions and other tasks as the notifying government specifies in line with the Act.
