The boat disaster in the Ganga on Makar Sankranti day that killed at least 24 people is another reminder that safety 1.( to)

public transport remains a low priority for governments. As with road accidents, mishaps in the inland waterways and lakes take a terrible toll of lives regularly, with no effective administrative response. In the Ganga Diara tragedy 2.( away) Patna, a large number of people had apparently crammed themselves into a small vessel for a free ride after witnessing a kite festival. The 3.( allowance) offered to the kin of the dead and injured both by the Centre and the Bihar government should not, however, obscure the fact that the loss of life 4.( have) entirely the result of official failures. This was obviously the result of serious neglect of safety norms for which accountability must be fixed. It is essential that 5.( the) judicial commission be constituted to inquire into the incident, to determine whether the laws on transport using inland waterways are being implemented and to issue 6.(advices) for the future. The country boat involved appears not to have used its engine at the time of the accident, but the absence of safety training for operators is painfully evident. The Centre, which talks of a paradigm shift in freight and passenger transport 7.( applying) inland waterways, should respond to the shameful national record on boat safety by firmly implementing 8.( certain) laws and introducing new measures along with the States. Just last year it expanded the National Waterways programme and notified several stretches of rivers and canals for a new deal for inland water transport. Under the amendments to the colonial-era Inland Vessels Act made in 2007 —which is to be further modernized — it is incumbent on the States to apply some provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act to accidents, compensation and insurance against third-party risks for powered boats. Just as 9.(from) the case of motor vehicles, registration of inland vessels other than small personal non-powered craft must be made mandatory. This 10.( would be) help enforce construction standards, subsidy for transport boats, passenger insurance and accident compensation.
