Nellore: Telugu Desam (TD) Nellore parliamentary general secretary Chejerla Venkateswara Reddy has launched a sharp attack on the functioning of the district road safety council, alleging that it has failed to curb the alarming rise in road accidents on national highways. He accused officials of negligence, pointing out that nearly 90% of accidents in the district occur on national highways. “Areas that qualify as black spots under road safety rules are being ignored, with no corrective measures taken. The inaction of the road safety council is costing hundreds of precious lives every year. He urged the newly appointed collector and SP to immediately convene the road safety council and enforce strict preventive measures.
