Who has yet qualified for his salute?

Rishi Raj Singh- One of a kind: His Royal Heritage.

Who is yet qualified for his salute, especially after he explained he had no intention to disrespect the minister and that he was a guest there like the minister himself?

Not long ago, six months to be exact, the roads in Kerala had turned to be killing fields. Death toll due to accidents had shot up to 13 a day. Accidents in a day had risen to 120. The number of people who were injured stood at 135 a day. It was not hard to see why. A steady uptick in the number of vehicles — Kerala has 2.75 % of India's population, but its people own nearly 10% of the total vehicles — negligence by drivers and pathetic roads have all played a part in turning the state into a motorist's nightmare. For four years, an exasperated government has been scrambling to tackle the issue.

A spate of reforms covering all the stakeholders of the transport sector it introduced bore few results. Accidents continued unabated. In 2012 alone, 4,286 motorists perished on the roads of Kerala.

It was in this backdrop that Rishi Raj Singh took charge as the Transport Commissioner of Kerala in June 2013. Even before he eased into the job, Singh, a 1985 batch IPS officer got a taste of the difficulties of the job. Twenty six people died in two separate accidents in north Kerala.

"Those incidents were an eye-opener for me," Singh told ET Magazine. Over the past ten years, road accidents in Kerala had increased to the highest in the country, he says, adding that the rate of accidents could be one of the highest in the world if one accounts for the area of the state — 38,000 sq km. The situation has changed for the better for which the State of Kerala and its people are deeply indebted to Mr. Singh.
