Parliament nod to Motor Vehicles Bill likely in next session: Nitin Gadkari

"I am confident that we will get Parliament nod on the new Bill in the next session. It will transform the entire sector, making it transparent and corruption-free," Gadkari told reporters after launching a web portal for online approval for movement of heavy cargo.
   
Seeking to come down heavily on traffic offenders, the government on Tuesday proposed steep penalties of up to Rs 3 lakh along with a minimum 7-year imprisonment for death of a child in certain circumstances, besides huge fines for driving violations.
   
Gadkari said launch of the web portal for online approval of movement of Over Dimensional (OD) and Over Weight Cargo (OWC) has removed one of the biggest hurdles on the way of 'Make In India' campaign.

"In realising 'Make In India' dream, one of the biggest hurdles has been with the launch of this e-portal. It will save time by offering an opportunity to save time and avoid transit delays in movement of equipment of national importance by Modular Hydraulic Axle Trailers," he said.
   
Apart from this massive digitalisation initiative, the government has ensured installation of electronic tolling systems across 108 toll plazas in the country.
