"Again, as per the National Crime Records Bureau report for the year 2014, in the State of Jammu& Kashmir, accidents taken place in the year 2014 accounted for approx 1030 accidental deaths and 7958 fatal injuries on account of 5830 road accidents in the State in 2014, a statement issued here today said.
It said, "However, because of improper implementation and lack of enforcement, the desired results for implementation could not be obtained and achieved inasmuch as the State lacked in their intent on the implementation of the Speed Governor regime. No effort was made by the State to ensure availability of Speed Governors to achieve the intent and directions of the Honble High Court as mandated vide its order in PIL No 1074 of 2011."
