“Two global organisations - CII’s Institute of Quality and Shell India today (Friday) joined hands and signed an MoU (memorandum of understanding) to launch a road safety initiative, which tries to bring about drastic changes in the way the transport sector operates in India,” a CII spokesperson said here.
The first of the initiatives called safe fleets was flagged off at the 17th Quality Summit organised by CII-IQ. This aims at preventing deaths and injuries caused by road accidents by developing road transportation safety management standards.
