Safety seems to be the key word at the start of the year as the city is in the midst of two safety weeks. The Western India Automobile Association (WIAA) is holding its Road Safety Week while the Railways both Western and Central have a Rail Safety Week on.

It is tragically ironical then that while these initiatives are being held with all the discussion and debate about commuting safety in the city, accidents both on the tracks and on the road continue literally mocking these efforts.
