在人行道行走權
Introduction
The Supreme Court of India says that walking on footpaths is a basic right. People who walk are now more important than cars.
印度最高法院表示,在人行道行走是一項基本權利。現在行路的人比汽車更重要。
Main Body
Walking is a part of the right to life and movement. For a long time, cities built roads for cars but not for people. The court says this was a big mistake.
行走是生命權與行動權的一部分。長期以來,城市建設道路是為了汽車而非為了人。法院表示這是一個巨大的錯誤。
Now, city leaders must build and fix footpaths. If the city does not provide safe paths, people can ask for money in court. The court wants a new, independent group to check these paths.
現在,城市領導者必須建設並修繕人行道。如果城市未能提供安全的道路,民眾可以在法院請求賠償。法院希望成立一個新的獨立小組來檢查這些道路。
This decision started because a five-year-old child died in a car accident. The court gave more money to the family. Now, the court will work with the government to make new laws for walkers.
這項決定源於一名五歲兒童在車禍中喪生。法院給予了該家庭更多賠償金。現在,法院將與政府合作,為行人制定新法律。
Conclusion
The court says walkers must come first. The government must make safe footpaths for everyone.
法院表示行人必須優先。政府必須為每個人建設安全的人行道。
