India is world worst place to follow safety rules by freddie (Indian) on 08 Nov 2009

Indian is world worst place to follow safety measures. Railway minister where are you? Are you sleeping or counting how much money you made today in corruption. World largest road accident is India. In cities no footpath for pedestrian, most of them walk on the road. World worst safety rules in India. Everyday there are 5 people killed by rail accidents.
