Road Accidents India: The government is making many efforts to improve road safety in India. But despite this, road accidents remain a big problem. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has released a report regarding road accident. It has been told in this report that more than 1.72 lakh people died in a road accident in 2023. This figure is very shocking. That is, 474 people die every day on the roads. That is, about 20 people died every hour.

Most death in which state

If we talk only road accidents, then Tamil Nadu has the highest number of road accidents. But if we talk about death in road accidents, then the name of Uttar Pradesh comes at the top.

Top five states die in most road accidents

Uttar Pradesh has died in the highest number of road accidents in 2023. There have been 23,652 deaths here. After this, Tamil Nadu comes in second place. There have been 18,347 deaths here. After this, Maharashtra comes in third place and 15,366 deaths have occurred here. In fourth place, Madhya Pradesh comes to Madhya Pradesh with 13,798 deaths and in fifth place with 12,321 deaths to Karnataka. Let us tell you that the biggest increase has been seen in the death of those driving two wheelers. About 70% of these people did not wear helmets.

The main cause of road accident

In the report of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the main reason for the accident has been given to speed up and drive in the wrong direction. Along with this, ignoring security rules is also playing a very important role in death in road habits. The Indian government has set a target to work up to 50% of the road accident by 2030. But to get this, the general public will have to strictly follow the traffic law. Along with this, the government is also going to start a national road safety mission to monitor public awareness and accidents.

The condition of road safety in India is getting very bad. According to the latest report of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH), more than 1.72 lakh people died in road accidents in 2023.

This means that on an average, 474 people every day in the country and about 20 people every hour are losing their lives due to road accidents. This figure is not less than an epidemic and shows that our roads are still very dangerous.

The main cause of road accidents

According to the report, over-speeding and worse-dride driving became the biggest cause of accidents. Apart from this, not using helmets and seat belts is also a major cause of deaths. Statistics show that 54,568 motorcycle drivers died only due to not wearing helmets. Not only this, thousands of people lost their lives ahead of time, not using seat belts.

Pedestrians and two -wheelers the most victims

• This report also made it clear that the biggest impact of road accidents was on pedestrians and two -wheelers. More than 35,000 pedestrians alone died in 2023, which is much higher than in 2022. This shows that India’s roads are still not safe for pedestrians and cyclists.

Road safety mission now mandatory

• Experts from institutions like Road Safety Network and Consumer Voice say that the responsibility of accidents cannot be put only on the “human mistake”. The real need is of systematic changes. This should include strict laws, helmets and seat belt rules strictly implemented and construction of safe road structures in cities and villages. Experts also say that road safety will now be considered not just a transport issue, but a public health emergency. Only then this crisis can be controlled.

The target is by 2030 to half death in road accidents

Let us know that India has targeted to reduce the deaths and injuries in road accidents by 2030. For this, it is very important to start a National Road Safety Mission. The situation will be difficult to improve until the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and two -wheelers is not given priority.
