"Accidents don't occur because of bad roads. It is because of good and safe roads that accidents take place. Our people drive at 120-160 kmph. Many accidents take place on highways. I won't support exhorbitant fines. Our cabinet will discuss to how to re look into fines," Govind Makthappa Karajol said, reported by IndiaToday.
