IndiaTimes Wednesday, 13 December 2023
India accounts for 13% of global road crash deaths in 2021, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). The number of road fatalities in India has increased from 1.34 lakh in 2010 to 1.54 lakh in 2021. In the entire South-East Asia Region, India has the highest number of road deaths, making up 46% of the total fatalities. The report emphasizes the need for urgent action to reduce these numbers and meet the global target of halving road crash deaths by 2030. The report suggests improving road safety measures such as child restraints, drunk driving legislation, and post-crash response.
