According to a recent WHO report, road accident deaths in India increased by 2% between 2010 and 2021. The report highlights a concerning trend in road safety, despite various measures implemented over the years. Factors contributing to this rise include poor infrastructure, inadequate enforcement of traffic laws, and a growing number of vehicles. The report emphasizes the need for more stringent regulations and improved safety measures to address this issue effectively. It calls for a collaborative effort from the government, local authorities, and the public to reduce road accidents and enhance overall road safety.
