3. Accidents and other problems are
created by policies of excessive production
of cars, luxury cars, two wheelers in
preference to buses and trams. The brief
explanation is as follows.
1. Excessive increase in number of vehicles on
roads
2. Commensurate increase in fuel consumption
and import expenses for any nation
3. Wear and tear of roads and consequent
increase in maintenance expenses and
disturbance and delay to smooth traffic
4. Excessive increase in noise pollution due to
blowing of horns
4. 5. Traffic jams adding to further increase in
fuel consumption and wastage of time
6. Increase in number of vehicular accidents
7. Increase in vehicular exhaust causing
pollution and global warming
8. Excess of load on local trains [where
available] and consequent accidents, quarrels
and mishaps
9. Overall increase in tardiness in the traffic
and increase in anxiety and tension, further
increasing the quarrels, traffic crimes the
number and severity of accidents on working
and business people
10. Reduction in the overall output of all the
people having to travel to their working place.
5. 11. Increase in the difficulty in movement of
ambulances and fire fighters and reduced
efficiency in disaster management
12. Increase (due to difficulty in enforcing law
and order) riots, thefts etc due to slowing of
police movement
12. Difficulty in management of traffic
One policy can affect several aspects of health
such as ACCIDENTS, noise
pollution, chemical pollution, wastage of
money and man power leading to reduction in
the funds available for health care system,
crimes, delay in disaster management and so
on.
6. The root of the malady is thus in the policy. If
it is driven by vested interests
and sectarian motives then it would continue
to cause serious health problems one of the
examples in case, is that of accidents!
The holistic solution therefore is:
Give preference to production of buses and
improve bus services preferably public but if
necessary private also. This would radically
reduce the perilous maladies mentioned above.
This is the essential sketch of the relation
between accidents, holistic health
7. and policies. However more details can be
added by the experts with holistic perspective
in related fields.
But holistic perspective requires
inner growth and blossoming and
spiritual renaissance for which
NAMASMARAN by billions is
required all over the world.
