Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

BRAVO , GADKARIJI


BRAVO ,  GADKARI-JI   !


At the press conference during " Make in India " week , you announced electronic toll collection at 360 toll plazas from April 01

You said :

"  Waiting period at toll nakas range from 10 to 30 minutes and lead to wastage of much time and fuel

Under the ( new ) system, stickers attached to vehicles will be scanned at toll plazas and the toll will be automatically deducted from motorists' pre-paid accounts "


The news report says , a special body comprising two banks and a government agency will operate the system


Of course , such systems have been successfully working in a number of countries for decades


But you are a visionary  ! And impatient ( - a rare virtue among Ministers ! )


And determined to make a difference to the existing poor state of affairs in our country's transport systems

You may want to consider my following suggestion :

*  You have already decided that Indian Vehicle Manufacturers shall comply with Bharat VI emission standards ,
    from April 2020 ( bypassing Bharat V standards )


*  Please pass an Executive Order ( no need for passing a Bill in Rajya Sabha ! ) which requires ( from April 2020 ),

    #  ALL vehicle manufacturers to install a RFID sensor in each vehicle ,

    #  A device to measure emission level of each engine and broadcast the readings to a Web-based Network

    #  Assign each vehicle , a unique IP V 6.0 , internet address ( URL ) , linked with its Engine Serial Number

 *  Install a IT enabled platform , which connects all State RTOs with the Union Transport Ministry thru VPN

*  Install software which , using these devices ,  continuously / dynamically monitors ,

    #  Physical location of each and every vehicle , on each and every road of our country , thru Google Maps

         This will display Traffic Density on all the roads and guide the motorists re routes to be avoided
 
    #  The actual Emission Level of each vehicle, at all times and sends a Warning Signal to local RTO / local
         Traffic Police / the vehicle manufacturers / Central Transport Ministry

         When the actual emission level exceeds permissible level , a RED light on top of the vehicle will flash !


DEAR  SHRI   GADKARI-JI :

If anyone says , " This cannot be implemented by April 2020 " , then ask him to provide an earlier date  !
