This is with reference to the report titled 'Bigger jail term for rash driving' (MM, November 5). The government of the state of Maharashtra must be commended for the step it has taken, namely its approval of the amendments to the Indian Penal Code that advocate harsh punishments and fines for drivers who are negligent, people who ill-treat differently abled persons and people who are abusive towards others (especially innocent women and children). Stringent action of this type is needed to avoid the occurrence of more untoward incidents in the future.
