"The accident of Cyrus Mistry is very unfortunate and a great shock to the country. Both population and the number of cars are increasing which is not in our hands," Gadkari said. We are the second largest road network in the world. I asked the drivers where the belts were and made sure that I wear the seat belt before the car started," Nitin Gadkari said. I was in the front seat and found that there was a clip so that it does not make any sound when there is no belt.

Due to the poor design and condition, many roads in India are considered "highways to hell". The Mercedes Benz car, with Anahita Pandole at the wheel, crashed into a divider near Charoti on a bridge over a river.

Wearing a seat belt gives you a much greater chance of being conscious and able-bodied.” In fact, Dhawan has himself been conducting awareness campaigns on seat belt discipline and is appalled by how despite mandatory provisions in the Motor Vehicle Act, rear seat belt use is minimal among Indians. “The law is never enforced when it comes to wearing the belt in the rear seat. Its Department of Transportation has conducted studies that indicate of the 23,824 passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2020, 51 per cent were not wearing seat belts — a four per cent increase from 2019. And we need to make wearing seat belts a behavioural habit, no matter what the seat, from as young as five years old. The incident is also a reminder that no lessons have been learnt since the death of Princess Diana, who succumbed to injuries in exactly identical circumstances and was not wearing a seat belt. The seat belt also contains spinal injuries, which can lead to death or loss of organs.” As per the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, wearing seat belts reduces one’s risk of suffering injuries or death by about half. The most common mistake we make is to place the top belt near our necks and the bottom across our hips, leaving the crucial torso unprotected. The rear seat passenger can hit the front seat passenger and driver and injure them seriously. “This is the most common myth. You would be thrown forward with such speed that you would hit the front row and even the dashboard hard.

In October 2016, in a surprise move, Mistry was sacked as chairman of Tata Sons and Tata became the interim chairman of the salt-to-software conglomerate.

As per reports, Tata could not find a buyer and did not buy back the DoCoMo share. In April 2016, Tata Chemicals sold its urea plant in Uttar Pradesh to a Norwegian company for Rs 2,600 crore. Cyrus joined the Tata Sons board as a director in 2006 and since then was representing the Mistry family on the board. The legal battle was also a fight for his reputation. After his exit from Tata Sons, Cyrus did not take back management control at Shapoorji Pallonji and Co. This eventually resulted in India’s biggest corporate battle with Mistry moving the court against his removal.

Mumbai-based gynaecologist Anahita Pandole was driving the car and her husband Darius Pandole was seated in the front seat. He went on to say that Mistry, as a leader, allowed him to disagree with him publicly which was an anomaly as no promoter would have done so. He went on to say that the former chairperson was treated unfairly and that everyone who worked with him was aware of this in their hearts. Kumar shared his thoughts on the leader and his legacy. Kumar ended his post by hoping that more people would share personal anecdotes in time. Kumar commended Mistry for being a thorough gentleman and his brilliance as an individual. This place according to Kumar was a spot that Mistry used as his office. The PhD holder from Northwestern University revealed that Mistry had presented him an opportunity that no one would have offered. He went on to remember that in August, he sat with Mistry on a park bench at Mayfair Church in London.
