1. Is there anything that government can do to speed up the widening of Trashigang-Samdrup Jongkhar high way without disturbing the normal traffic flow?

3. As we experience road accidents on rise, as always RSTA and traffic police blames on people’s negligence. Does that mean we can rule out poor quality and mechanical failure of cars from the list of causes of accident in our country?
4. Is there any guideline in place to control the quality of cars that are being tested only for plain areas before we import?
